Question

An alloy consists of 30 % zinc 24% nickel and rest copper. Find the weight of copper in 1600 g of alloy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of copper in 1600g of an alloy consisting of 30% zinc, 24% nickel and the rest being copper is 736 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Alloy consisting of 30% zinc, 24% nickel and the rest being copper

To Find: The weight of copper in 1600g of that alloy

Solution:

Step 1: Zinc -> 30%, Nickel -> 24%.

            So, the percentage of copper will be 100 - (30 + 24) = 46%

Step 2: Multiply the ratio of copper to the weight of the alloy

            that is, 1600g * 46% = (1600 * (46/100))g

                                              = (16 * 46)g

                                              = 736g
