Sugar-free gum contains 40% less calories than regular gum. If a piece of regular gum contains 40 calories , how many calories does a piece of sugar gum contain?

Answer 1

Hey You!

40*40% = 16

40 - 16 = 24

A piece of sugar gum contains 24 calories.

24 calories because

40/100*40 calories = 16 calories

40-16=24 calories
