One needs to know the specific heat for aluminum, copper, silver and water. Water has a value of 4.184 J/g/deg, but I'd have to look up the others (which you can also do).
(mass Al cup)(sp.heat A) (32-27) + (225g)(4.184)(32-27) + (40g)(sp.heat Cu)(32-47) = (438)(sp.heat Ag)(89-32)
Solve for mass of Al cup
