Question

. A manufacturer states that a new box of crackers has 40% more crackers than their regular box, which contains 50 crackers. How many crackers are in the new box of crackers?

Answer 1

Dear stuffed shirts at ritz crackers?

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Just as a box of crackers is only as appealing as its least intact sleeve.

I am paying for fully formed crackers, not butter crumbles.

I don't buy your product with broken quarters; don't stick me with broken pieces of cracker, you miserable dicks! Regards, Mort Goldman again

Explanation:

Answer 2

The regular box has 50 crackers.

40% of 50 =

= 40% * 50

= 0.40 * 50

= 20

40% of 50 is 20, so the new box has 20 more crackers than the old box.

50 crackers + 20 crackers = 70 crackers

Answer: The new box has 70 crackers.
