The last time it placed an order for ingredients, Sweet Treats Bakery ordered 4,550 kilogramsof sugar. This time, the bakery is ordering 34% less sugar. How much sugar is that?

Respuesta :

We are given that a previous order of 4550 kilograms is now 34% less. To determine the new quantity we will get the 34% of 4550. To do that let's remember that when we want to get the x% of a number "n" then we use the following relationship:

[tex]x\times\frac{n}{100}[/tex]

Substituting the values we get:

[tex]4550\times\frac{34}{100}[/tex]

Solving the operations we get:

[tex]4550\times\frac{34}{100}=1547[/tex]

Now we subtract this quantity from the original value, we get:

[tex]4550-1547=3003[/tex]

Therefore, the new order is 3003 kilograms.
