Question

a bag of dog food says that it now contains 20% more. originally, it came with 63 ounces of dog food. how much dog food does the bag come with now?
you can write 120% as \\(\frac{120}{100}\\). now rewrite \\(\frac{120}{100}\\) as a decimal in order to write 120% of 63 as a decimal equation.
\\(120\\%\text{ of }63 =?\\)
\\(\frac{120}{100} \cdot 63 =?\\)
\\(\square\square \cdot \square =?\\) how can you write 120 hundredths as a decimal?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

$\frac{120}{100}$ is equal to 1.2 when converted to a decimal.

Step2: Set up the decimal equation

Now we have the decimal 1.2 and we need to multiply it by 63, so the equation is $1.2 \cdot 63 =?$.

Step3: Calculate the product

$1.2\times63 = 75.6$.

Answer:

The bag now contains 75.6 ounces of dog food. And the decimal equation is $1.2 \cdot 63 = 75.6$.
