To find the weight of the silver in the bar, you can multiply the weight of the bar by the percentage that represents the silver content.

First, convert the percentage to decimal form by dividing it by 100:
93% ÷ 100 = 0.93

Then, multiply the weight of the bar by the decimal representing the silver content:
8.4 ounces × 0.93 = 7.812 ounces

Therefore, there are approximately 7.812 ounces of silver in the bar.
