Question

Claire is making a loaf of bread. A loaf of bread loses 12% of its weight when it is baked. Claire wants the baked loaf of bread to weigh 1.1kg. Work out the weight of the loaf of bread before it is baked.

Answer 1

1.25 kg is the original weight
1.1kg= 88% of the original weight
(100-12)

Answer 2

Answer:

original weight= 1.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Original weight= 100%

After baking it looses 12% so it becomes 88% (100%- 12%)

so 1.1kg is equivalent to 88%

100% will therefore be 1.25kg
