An advertisement for a box of crackers says that the new box has 20% more crackers than the original box. If the weight of the original box was 12 ounces, what is the weight of the new box of crackers?

Respuesta :

Based on the weight of the old box of crackers, we can infer that the weight of the new box is 14.4 ounces.

The old box weighed 12 ounces and the new box has 20% more than the old box had.

The new box should therefore weigh 20% more than the old box which means that it weighs:

= Weight of old box x ( 1 + increase in new box)

= 12 x (1 + 20%)

= 14.4 ounces

In conclusion, the new box weighs 14.4 ounces.
