Question

A bakery has 36 glazed donuts on display. This is 80% of the total number of donuts. What is the total number of donuts in the bakery?

Answer 1

45

Explanation:

% means out of 100, so 80% is 80/100

Let's divide 100/80 to find a scale we can use to multiply 36, 100/80 =

36 times 1.25 = 45

There's 45 donuts

Double check:

45(80/100) = 36, we're right

Answer 2

it is 64.8, but you have to round to the nearest number, so i would say 65 :)
