Grammar

at most

Hi,
Would you please tell me if this is correct?

It weighs 300 grams at most. I found it out when I weighed a few workbooks of mine.

(A friend says that she might ask me to send a workbook and wants to know the postage cost. I'm going to tell her a link to calculate the cost, but the site needs to put the weight.)

The antecedent for "It" is the workbook that you presumably mentioned in a previous sentence. " "That" now refers to your weighing the workbook.

The antecedent for "It" is the workbook that you presumably mentioned in a previous sentence. This gives you an unfortunate collision with "I found it out." Better: "I found that out ...." "That" now refers to your weighing the workbook.
