The alloy contains 54% copper, 27% zinc, and the rest is lead. Find the mass of the alloy if it contains 95 g of lead.

1) Let us find out what percentage are other metals in the alloy, if 54% copper and 27% zinc.

54 + 27 = 81%.

2) Find out what percentage of the alloy is lead.

100 – 81 = 19%.

3) Find out the mass of the entire alloy.

95 – 19%

X – 100%;

95 * 100/19 = 500 g.

Answer: the mass of the alloy is 500 g.
