**Title: Calculating Grams of KCl in a Solution**

**Objective:**
Determine the amount in grams of KCl present in 20.3 grams of a solution that contains 1.14% KCl by mass.

**Instructions:**

1. **Starting Amount:**
   - Enter the initial amount of the solution: 20.3 g

2. **Calculation Setup:**
   - Use the formula: 
     \[
     \text{grams of KCl} = \text{starting amount of solution} \times \left(\frac{\% \text{KCl by mass}}{100}\right)
     \]
   - Fill in the following values:
      - Starting amount of solution: 20.3 g
      - Percentage of KCl by mass: 1.14%
   
3. **Steps to Solve:**
   - Multiply 20.3 g by \( \frac{1.14}{100} \)
   - This fraction converts the percentage into a decimal for calculation.
   
4. **Tools Provided:**
   - Use the interactive boxes to add factors and complete the calculation.
   - Options include buttons to multiply, divide, and reset calculations if needed.
   
5. **Calculations:**
   - You can see selectable numerical values like 20.3, 1.14, and mathematical symbols for structuring your calculation.

6. **Final Answer:**
   - The final calculated number will provide the grams of KCl in the solution.

**Note:**
This exercise helps in understanding how to calculate the concentration of a component within a solution, important for chemistry lab practices and various applications in scientific research.
