Question

An alloy consists of 7 parts of zinc and 33 parts of copper. Find the percentage of copper in the alloy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

8.25parts

Step-by-step explanation:

TOTAL ALLOY=33+7=40

PERCENTAGE OF COPPER=33/40*100

=8.25parts

Answer 2

Percentage of Copper = 82.5%

Total Parts of Alloy = 7+33 => 40

% of Zinc = $\sf{\dfrac{7}{40}\times 100 = \dfrac{7}{2}\times5=17.5\%}$

% of Copper = $\sf{\dfrac{33}{40}\times100=\dfrac{33}{2}\times5=82.5\%}$

Therefore, the total percent adds up to 100%.

So,

% of Zinc = 17.5%

% of Copper = 82.5%
