Question

Ann increased the quantity of all the ingredients in a recipe by 60%. She used 80 grams (g) of cheese. How much Cheese did the recipe require?

Answer 1

So to use an equation to find it, we have to find the missing number.
1.6x=80
Now divide:
80÷1.6= 50
Let's check to see if we're right.
50×.6= 30+50= 80
So they required 50 grams of cheese.

Answer 2

Answer : The amount of cheese required in recipe will be, 50 grams.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the amount of cheese required in recipe be, X grams.

As per question, when the quantity of all the ingredients in a recipe increased by 60% then total amount of cheese used in the recipe will be:

`=X+60\%* X`

`=X+(60)/(100)* X`

`=X+0.6* X`

`=1.6X`

As we are given that the total amount of cheese used is 80 grams. So, the equation will be:

`80g=1.6X`

By solving the term, we get:

`X=(80)/(1.6)`

`X=50g`

Therefore, the amount of cheese required in recipe will be, 50 grams.
