Let,
- Mass of the steel be 108x
- Mass of the copper be 7x
- Then, Total mass = 108x + 7x = 115x
Given,
- Total mass of the coin = 230 mg
That means,
⇛ Total mass of the coin = 230 mg
⇛ 115x = 230 mg
⇛ x = 230 mg/115
⇛ x = 2 mg
Then,
- Mass of the steel = 108(2) = 216 mg
- Mass of the copper = 7(2) = 14 mg
☁️ ANSWER - 14 mg (Mass of copper)
