Question

fridge. Originally, the block weighed
126 g, but there is only 60% of it left.
How many 10-g wedges can she cut
from the cheese that is left?
8
21
12
7

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

126 g is what you originally had which=60% of whats left

you have to find out how many 10 wedges she can cut from the cheese that is left over

Work Shown:to find how much is left you have to multiply 126 by 60% remember when you multiply you have to move the decimal, and decimal is moved twice, so the answer would be 75.60 after you were done solving it and the number that is closest would be 70 so you would multiply 10 by 7=70 and the reason you pick that is because it is closer to 75.60.

So 7 is the answer.
