Question

80 grams of medicine increased by 15% how many grams

Answer 1

80 increased by 15% is 92.

80 x .15 = 12

12 + 80 = 92

Answer = 92

Answer 2

increase = 12 grams

new dose = 92 grams

Explanation:

To find the increase we multiply the original amount by the percentage increased

increase= 80*.15

Change to decimal form

increase = 80*.15

increase = 12

We increase the medicine by 12 grams

The new dose is the original amount plus the increase

New dose = 80+12

= 92 grams
