An airline allows each passenger to have a suitcase weighing no more than 45 lbs. If Hank needs to lower his suitcase weight by
40%, how much did his suitcase originally weigh? Please provide an equation and the solution. *Show all work please*
1 answer:
Okay, so he started out with 45 lbs.
Let's make 40% into a decimal.
40%= .4
I would multiply .4 to 45.
18.
Add 18 to 45 to get the answer.
The original weight of his bag was 63 pounds.
