There are two different sizes of paperclips and they have been connected into clusters by linking them together. The person who weighed the three different clusters recorded the total mass and the percentage of the mass that was due to each size of clip, but failed to record the number of paperclips in each cluster. CLUSTER A Total Mass % Small Clip % Large Clip 71.99 % 2.242 g 28.01% B C 2.870 g 43.76% 56.24 % 5.112 g 36.85 % 63.15 % Using these data you should be able to determine both the mass of each type of clip and determine the number of clips in each cluster.

Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. 

Really struggling with this concept.

Please explain so I can better understand !

Thank you so much

There are two different sizes of paperclips and they have been connected into clusters by
linking them together. The person who weighed the three different clusters recorded the total
mass and the percentage of the mass that was due to each size of clip, but failed to record the
number of paperclips in each cluster.
CLUSTER
Total Mass
% Small Clip
% Large Clip
A
2.242 g
28.01 %
71.99 %
B
C
2.870 g
43.76 %
56.24 %
5.112 g
36.85 %
63.15 %
Using these data you should be able to determine both the mass of each type of clip and
determine the number of clips in each cluster. Show all work.
