The ingredients on a jar of mincemeat are in order of content by weight and are as follows:Sugar; Apples (26%); Vine fruit (26%); Candied mixed peel (4%); Vegetable suet; Treacle; Acetic Acid: Mixed spices (0.3%); Citric Acid; Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid).To the nearest 1%, what is the possible range of sugar content?
Correct answer: B. 26% to 44%
- A. 26% to 43%
- B. 26% to 44%
- C. 31% to 43%
- D. 31% to 44%
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: 26% to 44%. The question provided the order of ingredients by weight in mincemeat, with sugar being the first listed. By considering both the lower limit (26%) and upper limit (44%) of the given range of percentages and rounding to the nearest 1%, we can determine that the possible sugar content falls within this range. The other options either incorrectly exclude one of the limits or start the range at an incorrect percentage.
