Composition of the chalk,
Carbon => 3 parts
Calcium => 10 parts
Oxygen => 12 parts

Total no. of parts = 3+10+12
= 25 parts

Total percentage of carbon = 3*100/25
= 12%
Total percentage of calcium = 10*100/25
= 40%
Total percentage of oxygen = 12*100/25
= 48%

shisan: why u have divided by 25
shisan: tell me
TAyush9621: because it is the total number of parts in the chalk
TAyush9621: and the formula used in such type of questions is: No. of parts of that particular thing * 100/ total no. of parts
