The bakery used 300 kg of butter this month
Solution:
Given that,
A bakery use 25% more butter this month than last month
The bakery used 240 kg of butter last month
To find: Butter used this month
From given information,
Last month butter usage = 240 kg
This month butter usage = 25% more butter than last month
This month butter usage = last month usage + 25 % of last month usage
This month butter usage = 240 + 25 % of 240
[tex]\rightarrow 240 + 25 \% \times 240\\\\\rightarrow 240 + \frac{25}{100} \times 240\\\\\rightarrow 240 + 0.25 \times 240\\\\\text{Simplify the above expression }\\\\\rightarrow 240 +60 = 300[/tex]
Thus the bakery used 300 kg this month
