Answer:
50 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of cheese required by the recipe be "x"
Ann increased 60% from original amount and then used up 80 grams. Thus:
<em>Original, increased by 60%, became 80</em>
<em />
This translated to algebraic equation would be:
x + 0.6x = 80
<u>Note:</u> 60% = 60/100 = 0.6
So we can solve the above equation for "x" and get our answer. Shown below:
Hence,
the recipe required 50 grams of cheese
|x - 5| = 16
x - 5 = +/- 16
x - 5 = 16 or x - 5 = -16
<u> +5</u> <u>+5 </u> <u> +5 </u> <u>+5 </u>
x = 21 or x = -11
Answer: x = {21, -11}
