Question

Ann increased the quantity of all the ingredients in a recipe by 60%. She used 80 grams (g) of cheese. How much Cheese did the recipe require?

Answer 1

So to use an equation to find it, we have to find the missing number.
1.6x=80
Now divide:
80÷1.6= 50
Let's check to see if we're right.
50×.6= 30+50= 80
So they required 50 grams of cheese.

Answer 2

Answer : The amount of cheese required in recipe will be, 50 grams.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the amount of cheese required in recipe be, X grams.

As per question, when the quantity of all the ingredients in a recipe increased by 60% then total amount of cheese used in the recipe will be:

$=X+60\%\times X$

$=X+\frac{60}{100}\times X$

$=X+0.6\times X$

$=1.6X$

As we are given that the total amount of cheese used is 80 grams. So, the equation will be:

$80g=1.6X$

By solving the term, we get:

$X=\frac{80}{1.6}$

$X=50g$

Therefore, the amount of cheese required in recipe will be, 50 grams.
