#57.4g KBr#

Explanation:

ASSUMING a viable reaction pathway, this is just a conversion from the requisite 3 Br in #AlBr_3# to the single Br atom in #KBr# related to the number of original moles of #AlBr_3#.
#42.9/266.7 = 0.161# moles #AlBr_3#.

Therefore, there are 0.483 moles of #Br# to form the same number of #KBr# molecules. #0.483 xx 118.9 = 57.4g KBr#
