The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the quantity of each component in a 1 kg alloy that contains 20% copper, 40% zinc, and the rest nickel, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the percentages The alloy consists of: - Copper: 20% - Zinc: 40% - Nickel: The remaining percentage ### Step 2: Calculate the percentage of Nickel To find the percentage of nickel, we subtract the percentages of copper and zinc from 100%: \[ \text{Nickel percentage} = 100\% - (20\% + 40\%) = 100\% - 60\% = 40\% \] ### Step 3: Convert the percentages to grams Since the total weight of the alloy is 1 kg (which is 1000 grams), we can calculate the grams of each component. #### For Copper: \[ \text{Copper} = \frac{20}{100} \times 1000 \text{ grams} = 200 \text{ grams} \] #### For Zinc: \[ \text{Zinc} = \frac{40}{100} \times 1000 \text{ grams} = 400 \text{ grams} \] #### For Nickel: \[ \text{Nickel} = \frac{40}{100} \times 1000 \text{ grams} = 400 \text{ grams} \] ### Step 4: Summarize the results Now we can summarize the quantities of each component in the alloy: - Copper: 200 grams - Zinc: 400 grams - Nickel: 400 grams ### Final Answer: - Copper: 200 grams - Zinc: 400 grams - Nickel: 400 grams ---
