Question

an alloy consists of 13 parts of copper to 7 parts of zinc and 5 parts nickel what is the percentage composition of alloy?? plz solve this in a proper way step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

percentage of composition is

copper =  52%

zinc  = 28%

nickel = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

an alloy consists of 13 parts of copper to 7 parts of zinc and 5 parts nickel

There are 25 parts

out of 25 parts percentage of copper  =( 13/25 ) x 100 = 52%

percentage of  zinc = ( 7/25 ) x 100 = 28%

percentage of  nickel= ( 5/25 ) x 100 = 20%

Therefor percentage of composition is

copper =  52%

zinc  = 28%

nickel = 20%

Answer 2

Total Parts of Alloy = 13+7+5 => 25

% of Copper = $\sf{\dfrac{13}{25}\times 100 = 13\times4=52\%}$

% of Zinc = $\sf{\dfrac{7}{25}\times100=7\times4=28\%}$

% of Nickel = $\sf{\dfrac{5}{25}\times100=5\times4=20\%}$

Therefore, the total percent adds up to 100%.

So,

% of Copper = 52%

% of Zinc = 28%

% of Nickel = 20%

Hope it helps u

Have a great day ahead
