Then emptied the bags and weighed the bags with out the chips inside. After that we figured out the mass of the Cheetos. Which you have to subtract the weight of the Cheetos with the chips and the bag without the Cheetos. We did it this way because we need to find out if the amount of Cheetos inside is the same as it was listed on the bag.      C.  Our Claim: We didn't get what we paid for.           Our Reasoning : Because the accuracy of the bags didn't follow the net weight of  ± .10g the precision of the bags also didn't follow the definition which is ≤ .20g so we didn't get what we paid for.           Our evidence:
