percent of iron in alloy= 100-42 = 58%

Answer: copper = 23.1 kg

             iron = 31.9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

copper = 42% of 55

             = 42/100 * 55

            = 42/20 * 11

           = 21/10 * 11

          = 231/10

          = 23.1 kg

  so iron = 100% - 42%

             = 58%

so

58% of 55

= 58/100 * 55

= 58/20 * 11

=31.9 kg
