Question

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

Answer 1

This month the bakery used 300 kilograms of butter.

Explanation:

The amount of butter used last month = 240 kilograms

The amount of butter extra used this month = 25%

Now, 25 % of 240 kg =
`(25)/(100)  * 240  = (1)/(4)   * 240`

= 60 kilograms

⇒The extra butter used this month = 60 kg

So,the total butter used this month = 240 kg + 60 kg = 300 kilograms

Hence, this month the bakery used 300 kilograms of butter.
