Answer:
177 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Create an equation to represent the system.
Since it's 18% more than what was used last month an equation can be written such as the one below:
(118%)( last month's cheese ) = this month's cheese
Convert the percentages into decimals by moving the decimal place at the end of 118.00 two places to the left
118% = 1.18
( 1.18 )( last month's cheese ) = this month's cheese
Next, plug in the number for last month's cheese
( 1.18 )( 150 pounds) =
177 pounds
