Ivan's chocolate bar is 21% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 84 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? ROUND TO THE NEAREST 10TH

Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of the chocolate is

[tex]=84g[/tex]

The percentage of cocoa is

[tex]\begin{gathered} =21\% \\ =\frac{21}{100} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To figure out the grams of cocoa it contains, we will use the formula below

[tex]Amount_{cocoa}=Percentage_{cocoa}\times amount_{chocolate}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we will have

[tex]\begin{gathered} Amount_{cocoa}=Percentage_{cocoa\times}amount_{chocolate} \\ Amount_{cocoa}=\frac{21}{100}\times84g \\ Amount_{cocoa}=17.64g \\ Amount_{cocoa}\approx17.6g \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence,

The amount of cocoa to the nearest tenth is

[tex]\Rightarrow17.6g[/tex]
