Final answer:
To calculate 3.8% of 950 g, multiply 3.8 by 950 and then divide by 100. This gives you 36.1 g, which is already rounded to the tenths place, making option A) 36.1 g the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find 3.8% of 950 g, we use the formula for calculating the percentage of a number, which is (Percentage / 100) × Total Number. In this case, we calculate (3.8 / 100) × 950 g = 0.038 × 950 g = 36.1 g. However, we must also consider the instructions to round the final answer to the tenths place based on 35.5 g.
Since 35.5 g indicates that our precision is limited to the tenths place, we round 36.1 g accordingly, which remains 36.1 g as it is already at the tenths place. Therefore, the correct rounded answer is option A) 36.1 g.
