Question

Ann increased the quantities 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

Answer:g = 50 g

Step-by-step explanation:

She used 60% more than required ⇒ she used (1+0.60)=1.60 times what was required.

x = grams required by the recipe

80 g = 1.60x

x = (80/1.60) g = 50 g
