Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=82........(1)

3x+y=96.........(2)

y=96-3x...........(3)

x+2y=82

x+2(96-3x)=82

x+192-6x=82

-5x=82-192

-5x=-110

x=-110÷-5

x=22

y=96-3x

y=96-3(22)

y=96-66

y=30

Therefore,x=22 and Y=30

so silver= x =22

gold= y = 30

y=30;x=22

=30-22

-12

Therefore $12
