Assume i Have took 10% of Powder, How Much Gram Would this 10% Occupy in 3 Gram Tiny Bottle?

This might be silly question to you, anyhow, any help will be appreciated.

This question is not silly, it is impossible to understand. At least for me.

I see. Probably my question was wrongly constructed. Let me form it in a different way:

I have a 3 gram overall of powder weight. The powder weight is a mixture of multiple
type of powders. One of the powder type (in the mixture) is Alum. This Aum takes
10% of the 3 gram (of these mixed powder), so the 90% represents the rest of
the powder types. I need to know the measure of this 10% Alum, how can i get
the measure of this 10%, is it equal to teaspoon? 

1 ounce = 28.34 grams
6 teaspoons = 1 ounce

I'm trying to convey my question as much as i can, its my lack of english
prevents me to say what i want to say exactly

It's also not really Chemistry it's a math problem.

If you know the definition of % by weight,  then the rest is simple
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
