%Fe = (g iron/total grams)*100 = ?
The others are done the same way.
A sample of an iron alloy contains 92.1g Fe, 2.59g C, and 1.59g Cr. Calculate the percent by mass of each component present in the alloy sample.

When you say total grams is that FE C and CR on bottom of division sign?
you add the total grams of Fe+C+Cr which is
Fe = 92.1 + C = 2.59 + Cr = 1.59 = 96.28
The question is asking for the % by mass of each component.
you calculate each individual element .
Fe gm of 92.1/96.28 (total gms) x100% = 95.7%
You do the same for C and Cr.
You should get the result of
C = 2.69%
Cr = 1.65%
Fe = 92.1 + C = 2.59 + Cr = 1.59 = 96.28
