Answer:

The bag will make 432 pieces of popcorn.

Explanation:

From the information given, you know that the bag has an average of 450 kernels and that 4% don't pop. So, with this information you can find the pieces of popcorn that the bag will made by calculating 4% of the average number of kernels in a bag and subtracting the result from that amount:

450*4%=18

450-18=432

According to this, the answer is that the bag will make 432 pieces of popcorn.
