So to use an equation to find it, we have to find the missing number.
1.6x=80
Now divide:
80÷1.6= 50
Let's check to see if we're right.
50×.6= 30+50= 80
So they required 50 grams of cheese.

Answer : The amount of cheese required in recipe will be, 50 grams.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the amount of cheese required in recipe be, X grams.

As per question, when the quantity of all the ingredients in a recipe increased by 60% then total amount of cheese used in the recipe will be:

[tex]=X+60\%\times X[/tex]

[tex]=X+\frac{60}{100}\times X[/tex]

[tex]=X+0.6\times X[/tex]

[tex]=1.6X[/tex]

As we are given that the total amount of cheese used is 80 grams. So, the equation will be:

[tex]80g=1.6X[/tex]

By solving the term, we get:

[tex]X=\frac{80}{1.6}[/tex]

[tex]X=50g[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of cheese required in recipe will be, 50 grams.
