Answers

  2. Part 1)
    Data:
    70% milk used in a week
    36 quarts of milk left
    How many quarts used during the week?
    Solution:
    (Here we are supposed to find the milk USED, which is 70%, now we know that milk which is left is 36 quarts and it is obvious that the percentage of the milk left is 30% because 100% – 70% = 30%. )
    You’ll get your answer through the following equation:
    (70% × 36 quarts) ÷ 30% = 84 quarts
    Answer:
    Therefore, the bakery used 84 quarts of milk during the week.
    Part 2)
    Data:
    1 gallon = 4 quarts
    Solution:
    (Here, we’re simply asked to convert the quarts of milk used during the week into gallons.)
    If 1 gallon is 4 quarts, then:
    84 quarts ÷ 4 = 21 gallons
    Answer:
    Therefore, the bakery used 21 gallons of milk during the week.
