Alloy #13 contains 7% gold, if means that if we need 2.7kg of this alloy, we will have to use a certain amount of gold. Multiply the percent of gold times the mass of alloy to find how much gold we need:


2.7kg\cdot7\%=0.189kg

It means that we need 0.189kg of gold.

The alloy we have contains 21% of gold. That means that for every 100kg of alloy there are 21kg of gold, use this ratio to find the mass of alloy we need:


0.189kgGold\cdot(100kgAlloy)/(21kgGold)=0.9kgAlloy

It means that we need 0.9kg of that alloy.

To find how much magic steel we need, we just have to substract this mass from the mass of Alloy #13:


2.7kg-0.9kg=1.8kg

It means that we need 1.8kg of magic steel.

The answer is: The dwarves need 1.8 kg of magic steel and 0.9 kg of their alloy in order to get 2.7 kg of Dragon Alloy #13.
