A company has decreased the weight of its boxes of macaroni by 7%. If the new weight of the box is 13.5 ounces, what was the original weight of the box

Sagot :

8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x: 0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces
