Question

a reduced fat cookie contains 11g of fat per serving. in order for food to be termed 'reduced fat', it must have at least 20% less fat than the regular item. what can conclude about how much fat is in a serving regular cookie?

Answer 1

Personally, I did this in a kinda weird way but I think that it should be correct

-How I figured the answer out-

I took 11g and wrote 80% next to it, because after all it has 80% less fat than the regular cookie.

Then, I scaled it down to 10% by dividing by 8, which got me

1.375g = 10%

And finally, I multiplied by 10 to now have 100% (meaning, a regular serving size cookie) and be left with the result: 13.75g

-The answer-

13.75g   (don't forget to write the units)

Have a great day :)
