Question

A bakery used 25% more butter this months than last month. If the bakery used 240kilograms of butter last month , how much did it use this month?

Answer 1

To find the answer, we can set an equation.

Let y kg be the butter used this month:

As 25% more is used than last month, the butter used this month would be: y ( 1- 25%)

The equation:

y (1-25%) = 240
0.75y = 240
y = 240/0.75
y = 320

Therefore, 320kg of flour is used this month.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

300kg this month

Explanation:

240÷4=60

60 is 25%

240+60=300

300kg this month
