Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
The two numbers must be expressed in the same unit. To convert 495g to kg, it will be divided by 1000
495g = (frac{495}{1000})
= 0.495kg
To express in percentage, 0.495 will be divided by 16.5 and then multiplied by 100
% will be added to the answer (frac{0.4950}{16.5}) x 100
= 3%
