Containing 64604
The metal casting consisted of copper and zinc. If we remelted it with 3 kg of pure copper, we would get an alloy containing 80% copper. Instead, we remelted the casting with 3 kilograms of pure zinc, so the resulting alloy contained only 50% copper. Determine the weight of the casting before it is remelted.
