Answer 2

$\sf\large\underline{Given:}$

$\tt{\implies The\: quantity\:of\: cheese=80g}$

$\tt{\implies Increased\:_{quantity\:in\:the\: recipe)}=60\%}$

$\sf\large\underline{To\: Find:}$

$\tt{\implies Required\:_{quantity\:in\:the\: recipe)}=?}$

$\sf\large\underline{Solution:}$

$\tt{\implies Let,\:required\:_{quantity\:in\:the\: recipe)}=x}$

$\tt{\implies Required\:_{(cheese)}=x(100+increase\%)}$

$\tt{\implies x(100+60\%)=80}$

$\tt{\implies x(100+60)=80\times\:100}$

$\tt{\implies 160x=8000}$

$\tt{\implies x=50}$

$\bf\large{Hence,}$

$\tt{\implies Required\:_{quantity\:in\:the\: recipe)}=50g}$

• Some information about percentage]

Percentage is the measurement of portion out of 100%. The symbol of percentage is expressed in the form of %. To calculate the percentage at first we have to turn into a percentage over the total value so you end up with a fraction. Then, turn the fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom number. Finally, multiply the decimal by 100 to find the percentage.
