A sunscreen preparation contains 2.50% benzyl salicylate by mass. If a tube contains 4.0 oz
of sunscreen, how many kilograms of benzyl salicylate are needed to manufacture 325 tubes
of sunscreen?

We must solve this through a multi-step dimensional analysis process, but I am having trouble since there is a percentage present in the question. Any help would be appreciated!

About 0.92 kg of benzyl salicylate would be needed in order to manufacture 325 tubes of sunscreen.

A tube contains 4.0 oz of the sunscreen and each one 2.5% benzyl salicylate.

         2.5% of 4.0 oz = 0.1 oz

Thus, each tube would need 0.1 oz of benzyl salicylate.

325 tubes of the sunscreen is needed and each one requires 0.1 oz of benzyl salicylate. Hence, total amount of benzyl salicylate needed would be:

    325 x 0.1 oz = 32.5 oz

From conversion:

16 oz = 1 lb

Hence,

32.5 oz = 32.5/16

                        = 2.03 lb

Also:

2.205 lb = 1 kg

2.03 lb = 2.03/2.205

             = 0.92 kg
