Question

A compound is made up of various elements totaling 120 ounces. If the total amount of copper in the

compound weighs 6 ounces, what percent of the compound is made up of copper?

Answer 1

Answer: 5%

Explanation:

To find the percentage you put the part over the whole so in this case it would be 6/120 or 6÷120

pop that into a calculator and you get 0.05 or
`(5)/(100)` or 5%
