Answer:

The chocolate bar contains 29.2 grams of cocoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lucy’s chocolate bar is 54% cocoa and the weight of the chocolate bar is 54 grams.

Hence, the amount of cocoa in the chocolate bar is given by

54% of 54 grams

54% percentage means 54/100 = 0.54

Hence, the amount of cocoa in the chocolate bar is

$0.54\times54\\=29.16$

When rounded to the nearest tenth, 29.16 should be equal to 29.2

Hence, the chocolate bar contains 29.2 grams of cocoa.
