Question

The mass of a cylinder of beetroot was 2.5 g. If its final

Answer 1

Answer: The percent increase in the mass of cylinder of beetroot is 8%.

Explanation:

To calculate the percent increase in the mass of cylinder, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ increase in mass}=\frac{\text{Final mass - Initial mass}}{\text{Initial mass}}\times 100$

We are given:

Final mass of the cylinder = 2.7 g

Initial mass of the cylinder = 2.5 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ increase in mass}=\frac{2.7-2.5}{2.5}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ increase in mass}=8\%$

Hence, the percent increase in the mass of cylinder of beetroot is 8%.
