Amber is eating her breakfast and looking at the ingredients list on the muesli.
The box contains 800g of muesli.
In the muesli:
- 45% of the mass is rolled oats,
- 25% of the mass is seeds,
- the mass of dried fruit is 2/5 of the mass of seeds,
- the remainder is almonds.
Calculate the percentage of almonds in the muesli.
Answer:
Rolled oats = 45%
Seeds = 25%
Dried fruit = 2/5 x 25% = 10%
Total = 45% + 25% + 10% = 80%
Almonds= 100% – 80% = 20%
Answer = 20%
