Question

An alloy contains 14 parts of tin and 100 parts of copper. What is the percentage of tin in the alloy ?

Answer 1

The percentage of tin in alloy is 12.27%

Explanation:

In context to the question asked we have to find out percentage of tin in the alloy

Total elements in all = 114

Total number of carbon elements = 100

Total no of tin particle = 14

Percentage of tin in alloy = Total elements of tin / total elements in alloy x 100

=14/114 x 100

= 12.27%

So, by this we can conclude that there is 12.27% tin in the alloy.

Answer 2

Answer:

∴ Percentage of tin in the alloy is $12.28$%.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In context to question asked,
• We have to find the percentage of tin in the alloy.
• It is given that, Parts of tin in alloy = $14$

             Parts of copper in alloy = $100$

• Total parts of  tin and copper in alloy = $14+100$

                                                     = $114$

• Now,

  Percentage of tin in the alloy = $\frac{14}{114} \times 100$

                                            = $\frac{1400}{114}$

                                            = $12.28$%

• ∴ Percentage of tin in the alloy is $12.28$%.
