Latonya works in a factory where she makes crispy snacks. first, she uses a machine that forms large 100 lb blocks of crispy. she cuts one block evenly into bars that each weigh 8oz. these bars are then pressed into a mold that creates 2 flat square wafers that each weigh 3oz. the left over waste material is put into recycle bins to be used elsewhere. these flat squares are then packed into bags of 5 which are sealed and finally packed into boxes, each containing 14 bags ready to be sent out to the stores. how much weight out of the original 100 lb block as a % is contained in the completely filled boxes (i.e. those containing a full 14 bags)?

How to calculate the biscuit percentage of the original biscuit that is packaged?

To calculate the percentage of the original 100lb cookie that is packaged and ready to be distributed, we must perform the following operations:

We must calculate how much each package of 5 cookies weighs, for this we multiply the weight of each cookie (3 ounces) 0.18 pounds by the number of cookies in each package (5).

  • 0.18lb × 5 = 0.9 lb

Next, we need to calculate how much the box containing 14 packages of cookies weighs by multiplying the weight of each package (0.9 lb) by the number of packages in each box (14).

  • 0.9lb × 14 = 12.6 lb

Lastly, we need to calculate how much percentage the weight of each box is equal to the weight of the original 100 lb cookie that Latonya made. For that we divide 100 lbs. by 100 and multiply the result by the final weight of the box (12.6lbs).

  • 100lbs ÷ 100 = 1
  • 1 × 12.6 = 12.6%

Based on the above, each box contains 12.6% of the first 100-lb cookie Latonya made.
