Question

Find the value of:- 33 ⅓ % of 10% of 2 kg in grams.​

Answer 1

Answer:

You can only calculate a percentage as a figure in grams in some limited situations. If you have a portion of food that is 6 percent fat, and you want to know how much fat you’d be consuming in grams if you ate the food, you can perform the calculation. However, a percentage is a general term for a proportion out of a hundred, so you can only calculate percentages into grams when it’s a percentage of a certain mass. To calculate it, you convert the percentage you want into a decimal proportion and then multiply that proportion by the mass of the whole 100 percent.

If the percentage is the proportion of a certain amount of mass, calculate percentages into grams using the formula:

What Is a Percentage?

Percent means “per hundred.” So, if 10 percent of people are left-handed, and you pick out 100 people, statistically, 10 of them will be left-handed. Work out something as a percentage by taking the number of things you’re interested in from a sample and dividing it by the total number of things in the sample. This gives you a proportion out of one. Multiply this by 100 to make it a percentage. For example, if you have a group of 30 people and three are left-handed, you calculate the percentage.

mass in grams=total mass in grams×

100 percentage of mass.
