A candy package states that it now has 30% more candy. The original package had 5 ounces of candy. How much candy is in the new package?

Answer 1

The original package had 5 ounces of candy.
Now with 30% more candy, the new package will have:
5 ounces + 0.30(5 ounces) = 5 ounces + 1.5 ounces = 6.5 ounces

Therefore, the new package will have 6.5 ounces of candy.
