Ian has 12.2 ounce bottle of ketchip. He uses 1/20 of the ketchup every time he has a buffalo burger How many ounces of ketchup are left after Ian has eaten 4 buffalo burgers?

Verified Answer :

If Ian uses 1/20 of the ketchup 4 times, this is equal to 4/20, or \(\frac{4}{20}\).

\(\frac{4}{20}\) can be simplified to \(\frac{1}{5}\), which means we need to work out \(\frac{1}{5}\) of 12.2

\(\frac{1}{5}\) is equivalent to 20%, which as a decimal is 0.2

0.2 x 12.2 = 2.44 - however, this is how much he has used, and we need to figure out how much is left.

12.2 - 2.44 = 9.76

So, Ian has 9.76 oz remaining :)
