Question

a bakery used 25% more butter this month than last month. if the bakery used 240 kilograms of butter last month, how much did it use this month? kilograms

Explanation:

Step1: Find 25% of last month's butter usage

25% of 240 kilograms is calculated as $0.25\times240 = 60$ kilograms.

Step2: Add this increase to last month's usage

This month's usage is last month's usage plus the increase, so $240 + 60 = 300$ kilograms. Alternatively, we can calculate it as $240\times(1 + 0.25)=240\times1.25 = 300$ kilograms.

Answer:

300
