Answer:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

Jade:

p-price

so 100%+20%=120% for the amount of cereal

Find 100%

120%=p

divide by 6

20%=p/6

times by 5

100% = 5p/6

Henry:

5p/6=83% Its the same amount of cereal but for 83% of the price

so 100-83=17%

which is the reduction
