Answer:
<u>The actual weight is 1.1% less (100 - 98.9) than the labeled weight.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question properly:
Labeled weight of the bag of chocolates = 0.384 pounds
Actual weight of the bag of chocolates = 0.3798 pounds
2. How much have you or lighter are the chocolates and the stated on the label. Show your reasoning.
Let's find how much we have comparing the labeled weight and the actual weight, using a Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Weight Percentage
0.384 100 %
0.3798 x %
0.384x = 0.3798 * 100
0.384x = 37.98
x = 37.98/0.384
x = 98.9 (Rounding to one decimal place)
<u>The actual weight is 1.1% less (100 - 98.9) than the labeled weight.</u>
The answer is the last one I think
