Answer:

40 Kg

Explanation:

If 30% of the mass is equal to 24 Kg.

You can divide both values by 3 to find the weight of 10%.

30 / 3 = 10 and 24 / 3 = 8

This means that 10% of the mass is 8 Kg.

To find 50%, we multiply both values by 5.

10 x 5 = 50 and 8 x 5 = 40.

This means that 50% of the mass is 40 Kg
