A bakery used 25% more butter this month that the last month.If the bakery used 240 kilograms of butter last month,how much did it use this month?

Respuesta :

Answer:

This month the bakery used 300 kilograms of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of butter used last month =  240 kilograms

The amount of butter extra used this month = 25%

Now, 25 % of 240 kg = [tex]\frac{25}{100}  \times 240  = \frac{1}{4}   \times 240[/tex]

= 60 kilograms

⇒The extra butter used this month =  60 kg

So,the total butter used this month = 240 kg + 60 kg = 300 kilograms

Hence, this month the bakery used 300 kilograms of butter.
