You can put this solution on YOUR website! A manager at a packaging company randomly selects boxes of cereal of weigh. the cereal in the box must be within 2% of the advertised weigh of 16.00 ounces. Otherwise, the box is rejected. What is the lowest possible weight of the cereal, in ounces, that a box can contain without being rejected?
--------------------------
16-0.02*16 = 0.98*16 = 15.68 ounces
