If the Initial Dry Total Weight is 543.7 grams and the Accumulated Total is 542.6 grams, what is the % Difference?

To determine the percentage difference between the Initial Dry Total Weight and the Accumulated Total, you need to first calculate the absolute difference between the two weights. The absolute difference is found by subtracting the Accumulated Total from the Initial Dry Total Weight:

[

\text{Absolute Difference} = 543.7 , \text{grams} - 542.6 , \text{grams} = 1.1 , \text{grams}

]

Next, to find the percentage difference relative to the Initial Dry Total Weight, divide the absolute difference by the Initial Dry Total Weight, and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

[

\text{Percentage Difference} = \left( \frac{1.1 , \text{grams}}{543.7 , \text{grams}} \right) \times 100

]

Calculating this gives:

[

\text{Percentage Difference} \approx 0.2025%

]

Rounding this to one decimal place results in approximately 0.2%.

This calculation shows how much the Accumulated Total differs from the Initial Dry Total Weight as a percentage, which is a common practice in
