Ruzita bought 3kg of chicken.she used 0.75kg of the chicken to cook curry and another 0.13kg to stew w/ vegetables.what percentage of the chicken was not used?
0.75 + 0.13 = 0.88
3.0 - 0.88 = 2.12
100 (2.12/3.0) = ?
To calculate the percentage of chicken that was not used, we need to subtract the amount of chicken used from the total amount and then convert it to a percentage.
1. Start by finding the total amount of chicken: 3kg
2. Calculate the amount of chicken used to cook curry: 0.75kg
3. Calculate the amount of chicken used to stew with vegetables: 0.13kg
4. Find the total amount of chicken used: 0.75kg + 0.13kg = 0.88kg
5. Subtract the amount of chicken used from the total amount: 3kg - 0.88kg = 2.12kg
6. Convert the remaining amount of chicken to a percentage: (2.12kg / 3kg) * 100 = 70.67%
Therefore, 70.67% of the chicken was not used.
