Answer:

Now it is given here that there are 325 tubes that are manufactured for sunscreen. And we also know that the percentage of sunscreen in benzyl salicylate is 2.5% here in one tube we have 2 Oz of sunscreen.

Step-by-step explanation:

So sunscreen in 325 tubes will be 2 x 325= 650 Oz. Since we know the amount of sunscreen in 325 tubes the amount of Benzyl salicylate in all 325 tubes will be 650 x 0.025 = 16.25 Oz

Now this can be converted into kg as 0.46 kg.
