Question

2. Last year Kellog decided to reduce the size of packaging in order to raise 1 p the price per ounce. If the original size of the box was 18 oz and Kellog reduced the size of the packaging by 15%. How many oz can the new box hold?​

Answer 1

15.3 oz

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the new size after reduction

We start with reduction amount

That will be;

15/100 * 18 = 2.7 oz

So we now get what it can hold

That’s;

18-2.7 = 15.3 oz
