I'm really stupid in maths. So, I ask you for help! :D

I have this maths task, actually.

1 ounce of silver is an equivalent of 30 ounces of bronze, 60 ounces of copper and 120 ounces of iron.
1 oz of s. = 30 oz of b., 60 oz of c., 120 oz of i.

I have 15 oz of s. or 450 oz of b., 900 oz of c., 1800 oz of i.
I spent 594 oz of c.

The question is how many ounces of silver, bronze and iron do I have now?

If it's possible explain me your calculations step-by-step, please.

Thank you! ?

If you only spent some amount of your copper why would you expect any changes in the amounts of silver, bronze and iron ?
 
We don't solve problems for students--sorry.

I will however solve a different question for you.

What will we use?: Since 60 seconds = 1 minute and when you divide equal quantities you will get 1 we have (60 seconds)/(1 minute) = 1. In fact, (1 minute)/(60 seconds) = 1 as well.
60 minutes = 1 hour, 24 hours = 1 day, 7 days = 1 week.

Problem: Convert 3 days to seconds.

Solution: \(\displaystyle 3 days = 3days*\dfrac {24 hours}{1 day}*\dfrac {60 minutes}{1 hour}*\dfrac {60 sec}{1minute}=...seconds\).
Do you see how 1st the days cancel out, then the hours and finally the minutes, leaving us with seconds?

Yeah. I see.

I think we need to start at the beginning: What does this even mean? It doesn't read like a math problem, because it is not written clearly. Please tell us whether you made it up, or tried to paraphrase a problem you were given, or something else. If it is not an exact copy of what you were given, please provide that. If, for example, you are asking this because it is needed in some game you are playing, explain more fully what is happening.

The main problem, as I see it, is right here:

I have 15 oz of s. or 450 oz of b., 900 oz of c., 1800 oz of i.
I spent 594 oz of c.
So, what do you actually have? Do you have silver, or bronze, or copper, or iron, or a mix of all three?

As I read it, it seems that you have some quantity of money that could buy 15 oz of silver, or 450 oz of bronze, or 900 oz of copper, or 1800 oz of iron, since those all have the same value (15 times the value of an ounce of silver). You spend (or sell) either 594 oz of copper, or money equivalent to that; if you had it all in copper, how much copper would you have left? Then, you have to figure out what you are asked for:
The question is how many ounces of silver, bronze and iron do I have now?
Since my understanding is that you don't have some of each (because of the previous "or"), this can't be asking about the actual amount of each metal you have,

My best interpretation of this is, for each of the other metals, how much could you buy with the amount of copper (or money) you have left?

To find out, you have to convert the amount of copper you have left to each other metal separately.

But you need to clarify what your question really means, before we can provide any help. What I've said here is all provisional.
