A packet of McDitty’s chocolate fingers is increased in mass. The label says that the packet is now 35% bigger. The weight of the packet is now 324 g. What was the original weight of a packet of McDitty’s chocolate fingers?
Let the original mass = M
1.35M = 324 divide both sides by 1.35
M = 324 / 1.35
M = 240 g - the original mass of McDitty's chocolate fingers.
