Question

Brandon has an action figure collection. He keeps 178 of the action figures on his wall, which is 89% of his entire collection. What is the total number of action figures in Brandon's collection?

Answer 1

Answer: 200


Steps:

x(.89)=178

Divide both sides by .89 to isolate x

x=200

Check:


If you multiply 200 by .89 to find 89% of 200 you will get 178.
