A 60 kilogram statue has 62% copper, how many grams of copper does it have? Anyone know how to do this?
+2592 First convert into similar units
60kg=60,000 g
Lets create an equation of this
Let c= amount copper
Let g = the total amount of the statue
so 62% can be written as .62 because 100% is 1 of something.
So 100% of 5 is 5 correct? Whereas 50% of 5 is 1/2*5 or .5(5).
So C= .62G
.62(60000) = 37200
So 37,200 grams is your answer
