Step-by-step explanation:

  • The ratio of silver to tin in an alloy is 2 : 3

total alloy mass = 2x + 3x = 5x

total alloy mass = 425 g = 5x

x = 85 grams

a) mass of silver = 2x = 2 * 85 = 170 grams

b) percentage of tin in alloy,

tin part = 3

total part = 2+3 = 5

% tin = (3/5)*100 = 60% of alloy is tin
