Answer
D
Step-by-step solution
2 stepsTo find the moisture content, we first calculate the mass of water and then divide it by the dry mass, expressing the result as a percentage.
Calculate the mass of water.
The mass of water is the difference between the humid mass and the dry mass.
Calculate the moisture content.
Moisture content () is the ratio of the mass of water to the dry mass, expressed as a percentage.
Rounding to one decimal place, we get .
Comparing this to the given options:
A) 150g
B) 143%
C) 0.143
D) 14.3%The correct option is D.
The final answer is
\boxed{\text{D) 14.3%}}.
