In a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 22.0% by mass pecans. If 5.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday, many pounds of chocolate bars were made?

22.0 is the same as saying that in 100 grams of a chocolate bar, there are 22.0 grams of pecans. or to make it easier because of this problem - 100 Kilograms of a chocolate bar, there is 22.0 Kg of pecans. we can use this as a conversion factor (what is used to convert a value to another value.

conversion factor---> 22.0 kg of pecan = 100 kg of chocolate bar

Note: remember this, what you are converting from goes in the denominator, what you converting to goes in the numerator.

5.0 Kg of pecan (100 Kg of chocolate bar / 22.0 Kg of pecan) = 23 Kg of chocolate bar
