Question

a certain alloy consists 3 parts of tin to5 parts of copper. what is the percentage composition of the alloy

Answer 1

tot metal in the alloy=3+5=8
percentage of tin=
$\frac{3}{8} \times 100 \\ 37.5\%$
percentage of copper=
$\frac{5}{8} \times 100 \\ 62.5\%$

Answer 2

Tin is 37.5% and copper is 62.5% in alloy.

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain alloy consists 3 parts of tin to 5 parts of copper.

Amount of alloy = 3+5=8

Amount of tin = $\frac{3}{8} \times 100$

                      = $37.5\%$

Amount of copper = $\frac{5}{8} \times 100$

                      = $62.5\%$

Hence tin is 37.5% and copper is 62.5% in alloy.
