Answer:
25 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that initially, 1 pound of whole chicken costs x.
So, initially 20 pounds of whole chicken costs 20x.
Now, the price is reduced by 20%.
That means that 1 pound of whole chicken now costs [tex]x[1-\frac{20}{100} ]=0.8x[/tex]
Therefore, with a 0.8x amount of money, we can now purchase 1 pound of the whole chicken.
Hence, with a 20x amount of money, we can now purchase [tex]\frac{20x}{0.8x}=25[/tex] pounds of the whole chicken.
