A snack food company advertises that they have increased the size of their standard
tortilla chips bag to 16.8 ounces, which is 20% more than the original size.
What is the original size of the bag?

Respuesta :

Answer:

14 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

100% + 20% = 120%

120%/20 = 6

16.8/6 = 2.8

16.8-2.8 = 14

Based on the current size being 20% more than the original size, the original size must be 14 ounces.

The current size of the bag is 20% more than the original size. Assuming that original size is x, that means that the current size is:

= x × (1 + 20%)

Solving for x would give you:

16.8 = x × (1 + 20%)

16.8 = x × 1.20

1.20x = 16.8

x = 16.8 / 1.20

x = 14 ounces

The original size was 14 ounces
