An alloy of tin is 15% tin and weighs 20 pounds. How many pounds of tin are in the alloy?

Rylee88:

Does it have to be in decimal form? Is it also multiple-choice if so can you share a Screen shot or the options?

Lemme check my work.

smoore69:

alright

Rylee88:

Okay so you're answer is 3lb how you may ask? We have a percent make that into a decimal. 15 divided by 100= 0.15 Then we times it by the original price. So, 0.15 * 20= 3 That is you're answer.
