Question

jay is letting her dread dough rise.After three hours ,her bread dough is 11/5 of its original size what percent of its original size is jays bread dough

Answer 1

sorry I got it wrong and posted it

Answer 2

Answer:

220%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original size of the dough be x

so after 3 hours it becomes (11/5)x

Now,

Percentage of risen dough to original dough

= (((11/5)x)/x) × 100

x cancels off so

= (11/5) × 100 = 2.2 × 100 = 220%

so the dough had risen to 220% from it's original size

NOTE:-

Remember if they ask the increase percentage then you must subtract (11/5)x and x, then divide it by x, multiplied by 100, it is confusing so it goes like this

Increase Percentage = (((11/5)x - x)/x) × 100

=(((11/5)x - (5/5)x)/x) × 100

=(((6/5)x)/x) × 100 = (6/5) × 100 = 120%

Ok so there is a difference

Hope you understood it........All the best
