Solution

To solve this problem, you need to find 34% of 3 kilograms.

First, convert 3 kilograms to grams because the answer choices are in grams. 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, so 3 kilograms is equal to 3000 grams.

Next, find 34% of 3000 grams. To do this, multiply 3000 by 34/100 (which is the decimal equivalent of 34%).

3000 * 34/100 = 1020 grams

So, there are 1020 grams of phosphorus in the container. The correct answer is D1020 grams.
