Answer:

72 gr

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sugar that he consumes daily now and the sugar that he consumes before is equal to 3 : 5, so we can use the following equation to find the new quantity.


(x)/(120)=(3)/(5)

Solving for x, we get:


\begin{gathered} (x)/(120)*120=(3)/(5)*120 \\ x=(3*120)/(5) \\ x=(360)/(5) \\ x=72 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the sugar that he consumes now is 72 gr
