Question

A cereal box says that it now contains 22% more cereal for the same price. Originally, it came with 17.4 ounces of cereal. How many ounces of cereal does the new box come with?

A) 17.4
B) 39.4
C) 21.2
D) 19.6

Answer 1

Well you’d have to change the % to a decimal

22% is equal to 0.22.

So 17.4 divided by 0.22 is 3.8

17.4 + 3.8 = 21.2 ounces or C

Answer 2

c) 21.2

Explanation:

17.4 * 1.22 is approximately 21.2
