An alloy contains 36 % of bronze. What quantity of alloy is required to get 340 g of bronze?

Step 1: Understand the problem. We know that the alloy is 36% bronze. We need to find out how much of this alloy we would need to get 340g of bronze.

Step 2: Set up the equation. If 36% of the alloy is bronze, then we can say that 0.36 (which is the decimal equivalent of 36%) times the quantity of the alloy (let's call this 'x') is equal to the amount of bronze. So, our equation is 0.36x = 340.

Step 3: Solve the equation. To find 'x', we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.36. So, x = 340 / 0.36.

Step 4: Calculate the answer. When you do the division, you find that x = 944.44g.

So, you would need approximately 944.44g of the alloy to get 340g of bronze.
