Question

How to determine the mass percentage of oil from different oil seeds?

Answer 1

Mass Percentage of Oil

1. To determine the mass percentage from oil seeds, we can simply divide the second weight by the first weight and multiply the result by $100$.
2. First weight (X) is the weight of the oil seeds.
3. The Second weight (Y) is the weight of the oil extracted from those oil seeds.
4. So, the mass percentage can be written as: $\frac{\mathrm{Y}}{\mathrm{X}}\times 100$.
5. We repeat the same step for each type of oil seed to determine the mass percentage of oil from different oil seeds.

Therefore, mass percentage of oil is calculated by second weight divided by first weight.
