The alloy consists of 7 parts of tin and 3 parts of copper. The mass of the alloy is 140 g. How much tin is in this alloy?

The number of grams of tin in the alloy will be denoted by the conditional variable “Y”.

Given the information in this example, we form the following equation: Y = (140 / (7 + 3)) x 7.

As a result of solving this equation, we have the following value Y = (140/10) x 7 = 14 x 7 = 98 grams of tin.

Answer: The alloy contains 98 grams of tin.
