Question

In a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 18.5 % by mass pecans. If 9.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday, how many pounds of nutty chocolate bars were made?

Answer 1

For the answer to the question above,

Per chocolate bar... 18.5by mass pecans

5kg pecans are 22.0% of all chocolate bars made.

Let x equal the chocolate used.

Therefore,

9.0 = .185(x)

x = 48.64 or 49 is the correct sig figs I believe.

I hope this helps
