Question

Imani was assigned to make 64 cookies for the bake sale.

If Imani made25% more than they were assigned, how many cookies were made?

Answer 1

answer: 80 cookies

Explanation: 25% is the same as one fourth of a whole. if your whole is 64, you would divide it by 4 to find 25%.

64 divided by 4 is equal to 16.

if imani made 25% more than what was assigned, you would then add 16 to 64, since 16 is 15% of 64.

64 + 16 = 80

80 is your answer.

hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer: 80

=============================================

Work Shown:

Method 1

25% of 64 = 0.25*64 = 16

64+16 = 80

----------

Method 2

A 25% increase means we use the multiplier 1.25

1.25*64 = 80
