Question

Bill's chocolate bar is 69% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 83 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Bill's bar has 57.3 grams of cocoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

The math part that your question is asking is: What is 69% of 83?

In order to use the percent 69% in a calculation, you need to change it to a decimal.

69% is 0.69

You move the decimal to the left, two places.

69% is 69.% If you don't see a decimal to start with and it is a whole number, then the decimal is starting on the right.

Move it two places to the left, you get

.69

Now MULTIPLY.

.69 × 83

= 57.27

ROUND your answer to the nearest tenth. That means only one digit to the right of the decimal.

57.27 rounds to 57.3

Bill's bar has 57.3 grams of cocoa.
