Question

A band played 18 songs at a concert. If the songs played at the concert are 15% of their total recorded songs, how many total songs has the band recorded?

Answer 1

120 songs

Explanation:

Divide 18 by 15% which is .15 which is 120

Answer 2

The band has recorded 120 songs

Explanation:

We can easily solve this proble by applying a rule of three

18 songs --------------------------------- 15% of their total songs

x songs ------------------------------------- 100% of their total songs

x = (100/15)*18 songs

x = (20/3)* 18 songs

x = 20*6 songs

x = 120 songs
