Question

Mrs Roberts makes 'regular' and 'low-sugar' jam.

She sells both kinds of jam in 340-gram jars.

55% of the weight of her 'regular' jam is sugar.
What weight of sugar is there in a 340-gram jar?

Answer 1

187 gram

Explanation:

Regular jam = low sugar jam = 340-gram jars

55% of the weight of her 'regular' jam is sugar.

What weight of sugar is there in a 340-gram jar?

Weight of sugar in a 340-gram jar of regular jam = 55% of 340

= 55/100 × 340

= 0.55 × 340

= 187

Weight of sugar in a 340-gram jar of regular jam = 187 gram
