Answer: hello some part of your question is missing below is the missing part

Using the mass of your "Goody's" powder (1.0g). (Goody's 1g with acetaminophen 260mg; aspirin 520mg; caffeine 32.5mg )

answer:

% aspirin = 52%

%acetaminophen = 26%

% caffeine = 3.25%

The percentages compare favorably with the percent composition claimed by the manufacturer

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage of aspirin

520 mg / 1000 = 0.520 g

0.52/1 * 100 = 52%

percentage of acetaminophen

260 mg / 1000 = 0.26 g

0.26 / 1 * 100 = 26%

percentage of caffeine

32.5 mg / 1000 = 0.0325 g

0.0325 / 1 * 100 = 3.25%

Hence the remaining composition percentage = 100 - ( 52 + 26 + 3.25 )

= 18.75%

The percentages compare favorably with the percent composition claimed by the manufacturer
