Question

A candy package states that it now has 30% more candy. The original package had 5 ounces of candy. How much candy is in the new package?​

Answer 1

There are now 6.5 ounces in the new bag.

Explanation:

To solve this question, take 30% of 5 and add it to the original amount of 5

30% = 0.30

5 * 0.30 = 1.5

5 + 1.5 = 6.5 ounces of candy.

Hope this helps!
