    92.5 % is silver

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Mass of silver = 33.3 grams

    Mass of copper = 2.70 grams

    Step 2: Calculate the total mass

    Total mass = mass silver + mass copper

    Total mass = 33.3 grams + 2.7 grams

    Total mass = 36 grams

    Step 3: Calculate % silver

    % silver = (mass silver / total mass) * 100%

    % silver = (33.3 grams / 36.0 grams) * 100%

    % silver = 92.5 %

    92.5 % is silver

    Mass of silver + Mass of copper

    33.3 g Ag + 2.70g of Cu = 36 g

    % of Silver is (mass of silver / total mass). 100 →

    (2.70 g / 36 g). 100 → 7.5%
