help with percentages: Prosper usually buys a 40 g bag of crisps on his way to work.

HI,

I recently started a Level 2 maths qualification and I would like your help with my assignment. I submitted it but apparently it was wrong. Here it is:

Prosper usually buys a 40 g bag of crisps on his way to work. One week, there is a special offer on these crisps.

What is the weight of the special offer bags of crisps?


So what I did: 20% of 40g is 8, then I added * to 40 which makes 48g the weight of the special offer bag.

After trying to do it in another way , nothing comes up. So please help me.

I'm sorry, but we cannot see files on your hard drive. Please upload the picture to the forum, or else post a description of the relevant information.

What is meant by "*"? Why did you do what you did? What was your reasoning?

Please reply showing all of your steps and reasoning for the "another way", also. Thank you!
