Q: A bullet found at a crime scene contains 13.9 g of lead, 0.3 g of tin, and 0.9 g of antimony. What is the percentage of tin in the bullet? (Express your answer to the ones place.)

$$\frac{0.3\ \mathrm{g}}{15.1\ \mathrm{g}} \times 100\% = 2\%$$

Q: A bullet from a suspect’s ammunition contains 11.6 g of lead, 0.5 g of tin, and 0.4 g of antimony. What is the percentage of antimony in this bullet? (Express your answer to the ones place.)

$$\frac{0.4\ \mathrm{g}}{12.5\ \mathrm{g}} \times 100\% = 3\%$$
