ANSWER:

17 grams of cocoa

Explanation:

The amount of cocoa will be 21% of the weight of the chocolate bar.

The chocolate bar weighs 84 grams, therefore, the number of grams of cocoa will be 21% of 84, we calculate it below:

$\begin{gathered} 84\cdot21\% \\ \\ 84\cdot(21)/(100)=17.01\approx17\text{ g} \end{gathered}$

The chocolate bar contains 17 grams of cocoa
