Question

A filtration system is used to separate sand from other matter.
14 kg of mixture A and 37 kg of mixture B are placed in a separator system. The system outputs
30 kg of pure sand and an unknown amount of waste that contains 4.7% of sand (by mass).
Determine the mass of sand in mixture A (in kg) if the mass of sand in mixture B is 2.69 times
the mass of sand in mixture A.
