Answer:
To determine the number of ounces of pretzels in a 32-ounce package of a snack mix that is 24 percent pretzels, we can calculate it using the percentage.
Given:
Package size = 32 ounces
Percentage of pretzels = 24%
To find the number of ounces of pretzels, we multiply the package size by the percentage:
Ounces of pretzels = Package size × Percentage of pretzels
Ounces of pretzels = 32 ounces × 0.24
Calculating this, we get:
Ounces of pretzels = 7.68 ounces
Therefore, there are approximately 7.68 ounces of pretzels in the 32-ounce package of the snack mix.
