Question

A 400g loaf of white bread contains 228 g of flour. An 800 g loaf of brown
bread contains 472 g of flour. Which loaf contains a higher percentage of flour?

Answer 1

Answer:

The loaf of brown bread contains a higher percentage of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of flour, we divide the amount of flour by the weight of the bread, and then multiply by 100. So

400g loaf of white bread:

228g of flour

$P = \frac{228*100}{400} = 57\%$

57% of flour

800g loaf of brown bread:

472g of flour

$P = \frac{472*100}{800} = 59\%$

59% of flour, so, a higher percentage
