Answer:
D. The weight of the raisins is 2.7 ounces.
Explanation:
Weight of the cereal = 15 ounces
Raisins are 18% of the weight of the cereal.
Thus, the weight of the raisins will be:
[tex]=18\%\text{ of the cereal's weight}[/tex]
Next, we solve to get our result.
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{18}{100}\times15 \\ =\frac{270}{100} \\ =2.7\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The weight of the raisins is 2.7 ounces.
