Question

This year, a French restaurant used 25,929 ounces of cream. That is 10% less than last year, when the restaurant had a different menu. How much cream did the restaurant use last year?

Answer 1

The restaurant used 23,336.1 ounces of cream last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much cream the restaurant used last year, we need to calculate 10% more than the amount used this year. First, we can calculate the 10% decrease of 25,929 ounces by multiplying it by 0.10, which gives us 2,592.9 ounces. Then, to find the amount used last year, we subtract this decrease from this year's usage:

25,929 ounces - 2,592.9 ounces = 23,336.1 ounces.
