176 kg of copper and 24 kg of tin
176 kg of tin and 24 kg of copper
17600 kg of copper and 2400 kg of tin
17600 kg of tin and 2400 kg of copper

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate copper amount

The amount of copper is 88% of 200 kg. So we calculate $200\times0.88 = 176$ kg.

Step2: Calculate tin amount

The amount of tin is 12% of 200 kg. So we calculate $200\times0.12=24$ kg.

Answer:

176 kg of copper and 24 kg of tin
