Let x be the price Let y be the original weight in onuce Before the additional 40% extra weight, price per ounce = x/y After including the addition 40%extra weight, price per ounce = x/(1.4y) ("after per ounce price" - "before per ounce price")/"before per ounce price" = (x/(1.4y)-x/y)/(x/y) =1-1/1.4 =2/7
