A gold alloy contains 15 milligrams of gold for every 4 milligrams of copper. A jeweler uses 48 milligrams of copper to make the alloy. How much gold does the jeweler use to make the alloy?

The answer is 270 cars.you can do this by making a proportional relationship. for instance, 200 is the whole we are using, so on a “number line” 200 would be over 100%. now, since he sells 35% more, add 35% to 100% to get 135% on the other side of the “number line” on the bottom half, leaving the top half empty.cross multiply 200 by 135 then divide by 100 to get your answer. i hope this , if it did, , if you don’t mind, giving me brainiest! 200/100% } 200 • 135 /100 ? /135%
