Question

A patient received 65 grams of medicine. If the dose is increased by 20%, how many more grams will the patient receive ?

Answer 1

Answer:

78 Grams

Step-By-Step:

You start with 20% and turn it into a decimal then multiply by the original.

So

65+.20=13

So 13+65=78

78 Grams is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: 13 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A patient received 65 grams of medicine.

The increased value of medicine will be :-

$\text{ 20% of 65 grams }= 0.20\times 65 \text{grams}$   [ We can write 20% as $\dfrac{20}{100}=0.20$ ].

Now, $ 0.20\times 65 \text{grams}=\text{ 13 grams}$

Hence, the amount of medicine the patient will receive more =  13 grams
