AND ACTUALLY GIVE STEP-BY-STEP

Answer 1

A. 4%

Explanation:

We can find out the total weight in the beginning by adding 240+10 which is 250

Then we divide 10/250 or we can multiply both sides by 4 to move the denominator to the 1000th which is 40/1000 and remove a 0 from both sides which makes 4/ 100 or 0.04 which is 4%
