No change |
After |
80 u |
20 u |
Number of matcha wafers at first
= 40% x 100
=
40100 x 100
= 40
Percentage of other wafers
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Number of other wafers
= 60% x 100
=
60100 x 100
= 60
Number of other wafers in the end
= 100 u - 80 u
= 20 u
The number of other wafers remains unchanged.
60% = 20 u
20 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 20 = 3
Number of matcha wafers in the end
= 80 u
= 80 x 3
= 240
Additional number of matcha wafers that Wendy must bake
= 240 - 40
= 200
Answer(s): 200
