Question

A cereal box says that now it contains 20% more. Originally, it came with 18.5 ounces of cereal. How much cereal does the box come with now?

Answer 1

Hi.

We can multiply 18.5 by 1.2 to get the answer.

I did this on paper & got 22.2 ounces.

Alternate way:

18.5 • 0.2

Add the product to 18.5.

Please do these calculations yourself. My multiplication maybe not be 100%, by my methods are.

Answer 2

The cereal box now has 22.2 ounces in it
