A typical high school student consumes 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. As part of a new nutrition plan, each member of a track team plans to lower the sugar he or she consumes by at least 20% for the coming year. Assuming each track member had consumed sugar at the level of a typical high school student and will adhere to this plan for the coming year, what is the maximum number of pounds of sugar to be consumed by each track team member in the coming year?

Sagot :

If he lowers his sugar consumption by 20% , he'll still consume 80% of the amount he consumes now.

80% means 0.80
"of" means "times"

0.80 x 67.5 pounds = 54 pounds

Each track jock will have to make do with only 54 pounds of sugar next year.
That's an average of a meager 67 grams of sugar every day.  Can they do it ?
