A chocolate manufacturing plant produces chocolate coated macadamia nuts. One specific batch of chocolates weighed an average of 4.52 g for each piece. It was found out that the macadamia nuts used in the batch had three total defects wherein 26.07 % had only three fourths a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.65 g for each piece, 19.38 % had only one half of a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.38 g for each piece, and 23.78 % had only one fourth of a macadamia nut with a weight of 4.04 g for each piece. Assuming that the amount of chocolate coating for each chocolate in the specific batch is constant and each whole macadamia nut weighs the same, calculate the weight of each piece of chocolate having a whole macadamia nut.   Show your solutions in the next item   Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
