Question

A patient received 65 grams of medicine. If the dose is increased by 20%, how many more grams will the patient receive ?

Answer 1

78 Grams

Step-By-Step:

You start with 20% and turn it into a decimal then multiply by the original.

So

65+.20=13

So 13+65=78

78 Grams is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: 13 grams

Explanation:

Given : A patient received 65 grams of medicine.

The increased value of medicine will be :-

[ We can write 20% as
`(20)/(100)=0.20` ].

Now,
`0.20* 65 \text{grams}=\text{ 13 grams}`

Hence, the amount of medicine the patient will receive more = 13 grams
