Dwight bought 4.5 pounds of produce this week. This is 22.5% of his total produce purchase for the month. How many pounds of produce does Dwight expect to purchase for the month?

Respuesta :

Answer:

20 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4.5 = 22.5% then we need to find what 1% equals. We do this by dividing 4.5 by 22.5.

4.5/22.5 = 0.2

0.2 lbs = 1%

To get 100% multiply 1% by 100.

Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other.

20 = 100%

He plans on buying 20 pounds of meat for the month.
