Ann increased the quantities of all the ingredients by 60% . she used 80 grams of cheese, how much cheese did the recipe require?
Answers
If she used 80 grams of cheese in total which was increased by 60%, then the recipe required 50 gm of cheese.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial quantity of cheese which was required for the recipe be “x” gm
Ann increased all the ingredients of the recipe by 60%.
∴ The increased quantity of cheese will be = x + (60% of x)
It is given that she had used 80 gm of cheese in total for the recipe.
Therefore, we can write the eq. as,
x + (60% of x) = 80
⇒ x + [0.60 x] = 80
⇒ 1.6 x = 80
⇒ x = 80/1.6
⇒ x = 50 gm
Thus, the recipe required 50 gm of cheese.
