    First, calculating the amount of zinc carbonate by multiplying the given mass of the ore by the percent zinc carbonate.

    mass of zinc carbonate = (976 tons) (0.78)

    = 761.28 tons

    Then, calculate for %Zn in zinc carbonate

    %Zn = ((65.38) / (125.39)) x 100%

    % Zn = 52.141%

    tons of Zn from the sample,

    mass of Zn = (761.28 tons) (0.52141)

    = 396.94 tons Zn
