Answer:
1) just make an equation (answer below)
SO the new bottle is 30 ounces
The old bottle was 25 percent more then the new one
So we can just find 25 percent of 30
And add it
That is the most simple way but I would just do
30*1.25 Its the same thing but if you think a bout ti, the new bottle can Only hold 30 ounces, 30 ounces is 100 percent of the new bottle, if you multiply 1.25 its adding 25 percent so it Turns a 2 step into a 1 step.
1.25*30=37.5
The larger bottle was 37.5 ounces
17.7% x
-------- = -----------------
100% 110,200,000
If 110.2 million households equals 100%, then you just cross multiply to solve for what households are 17.7% - which is 19,505,400.
D. cause you gotta isolate your variables (the cereal boxes) then get rid of the coefficent (2)
The percent is 145. That should be your answer
