Question

A small bag of pet food weighs 8 pounds. A larger bag weighs 75% more than the small bag. How many more pounds does the larger bag of pet food weigh

Answer 1

Do 8 times .75 and add that product with 8. Then subtract the smaller bags weight, 8, from that answer.

Answer 2

Hi!

8 * 75% = 6

8 + 6 = 14

14 - 8 = 6

So, the larger bag weighs 6 more pounds than the smaller one.
