Question

Find the percentage of cocoa contained in a chocolate bar of 200 gms if 120 grams of the same chocolate bar contains 40 grams of cocoa.

• A. 40%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 30%
• D. 35%

Answer 1

The correct option is B

33.33%

Amount of cocoa contained in 120 grams of chocolate = 40 grams

The percentage of cocoa remains the same irrespective of the weight of the chocolate bar.

$\therefore$ $\frac{40}{120}\times 100=33.33\%$
