    The compound contains 29.3 % calcium, 23.7 % sulfur and 47 % oxygen

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Mass of the compound = 3.74 grams

    Mass of calcium in the compound = 1.10 grams

    Mass of sulfur in the compound = 0.888 grams

    Mass of oxygen in the compound = 1.76 grams

    Step 2: Calculate percent composition

    Mass of Calcium + Mass of sulfur + mass of oxygen = total mass of compound = 3.74 grams

    % Caclium = (1.10 grams / 3.74 grams) * 100 % = 29.3 %

    % sulfur = (0.888 grams / 3.74 grams) * 100 % = 23.7 %

    % oxygen = (1.76 grams / 3.74 grams) * 100 % = 47%

    29.3 % + 23.7 % + 47% = 100 %

    The compound contains 29.3 % calcium, 23.7 % sulfur and 47 % oxygen
