Question

A gunpowder consist of 60% of Notre,20% of charcoal,and 15%of sulphur. Find the quantity of each ingredient in a tonne of gunpowder.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 tonne = 1000 kg

Notre = 60% of 1000 kg = 600 kg

charcoal = 20% of 1000 kg = 200 kg

sulphur = 15% of sulphur = 150 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

As we know, 1 tonne = 1000 kgs.

Now, percentage of nitre = 60% of 1000 kgs

Amount of nitre present = 60/100 x 1000 = 600 kgs.

Percentage of charcoal = 20% of 1000 kgs.

Amount of charcoal present = 20/100 x 1000 = 200 kgs.

Percentage of sulphur = 15 % of 1000 kgs.

Amount of sulphur present = 15/100 x 1000 = 150 kgs.

Hope it helps..!!
