Answer: -13% to 3 sig figs
Explanation:
A piece of potato had an original mass of 3.2g and after being left in a sugar solution for 24 hours it then had a mass of 2.8g. Calculate the percentage mass decrease of the potato.
the change in mass is 2.8 -3.2 = -0.4 gm
the % change fro the origial piece is ( -0.4/3.2) X 100 = -12.5%
or -13% to 3 sig figs
