Maths problem

[Greynomad]

Had some idle time this morning over breakfast...
Not much reading material at the breakfast table, so I took a look at the nutritional info panel on the Muesli box (home brand from a well-known German supermarket chain).
Now, maths was never my strongest subject at school, but I think I've spotted a small problem.
The box says:
"Contains
65% Cereals
34% Wholegrain Cereals
11.9% Sultanas
2.0% Cranberries
1.5% Blueberries
1.0% Rasberries"

According to my phone's calculator, that totals 115.4%...
Does that mean my 750g box actually contains 865.5g of Muesli?

hmmm..... of the 65% cereals, 34% of those are whole grain serials or 34% of the total volume are whole grain cereals? No matter how you add it up it still doesn't come to 100%, so there are a few things missing on the list of ingredients.
Now, if there is a fibre count, does that include the box it comes in?

T1,
You’re not going to post that old joke about doubling your fibre intake, are you?

The phone must be out of order or it’s a cheap important

Ray,

mate, sorry. A well known problem.

Some settling may occur. It's probably written in the fine print somewhere.

Nah, Jon,
I’ve checked the bottom of my phone screen ... no cereal, just a lot of broken light bulbs.
