I'm confused about this math question my teacher gave us today. Bowser's dog food is 40% meat. How much dog food would Bowser eat in order to get 11 kgs of meat?

Let x = the total kg Bowser needs to eat.

0.4x = 11
x = 11/0.4
x = 27.5 kg

Thank you Ms. Sue

To find out how much dog food Bowser would eat in order to get 11 kgs of meat, we need to use the information that the dog food is 40% meat. Here's how you can solve it:

Step 1: Since Bowser's dog food is 40% meat, it means that 40% of the dog food is meat, and the remaining 60% is something else (likely fillers or other ingredients). We need to figure out how much dog food contains 11 kgs of meat.

Step 2: Let's assume that Bowser would eat x kgs of dog food. Since the dog food is 40% meat, we can write it as 40% of x kgs. Mathematically, this can be expressed as 0.40 * x.

Step 3: We want to find out how much dog food Bowser would eat to get 11 kgs of meat. So, we set up the equation: 0.40 * x = 11.

Step 4: To solve the equation, divide both sides by 0.40: x = 11 / 0.40.

Step 5: Using a calculator or performing the division manually, we find that x = 27.5.

Therefore, Bowser would need to eat approximately 27.5 kgs of dog food to get 11 kgs of meat.
