Crispy clover, a popular vegetarian restaurant, introduced a new menu that had 20% more dishes than the previous menu. The previous menu had D dishes. Which of the following expressions could represent how many dishes crispy clovers new menu has?
Answer:
The expression could represent how many dishes crispy clovers new menu has is:
[tex]D + \frac{1}{5}D \text{ or } 1.2D[/tex]
Solution:
Given that,
The new menu had 20% more dishes than the previous menu
The previous menu had D dishes
Therefore,
Previous menu = D dishes
New menu = 20 % more dishes than previous menu
Which means,
New menu = 20 % of previous menu + previous menu
Therefore,
New menu = 20 % of D + D
Solve the above equation
[tex]New\ menu = 20 \% \times D + D\\\\New\ menu = \frac{20}{100} \times D + D\\\\New\ menu = 0.2 \times D + D\\\\New\ menu = 0.2D + D = \frac{D}{5} + D = 1.2D[/tex]
Therefore, new menu has 1.2D dishes
