Question

Abigail colors 80% of the total shapes on her paper. She colors 36 shapes. Enter the number of shapes on Abigail's paper.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can set up the following equation:

`(80)/(100) = (36)/(N)`

where
`N` is the total number of shapes on Abigail's paper.

Let's first multiply both sides by
`N`:

`(80N)/(100) = 36`

Next, let's multiply both sides by
`100`:

`80N = 3600`

Finally, let's divide both sides by
`80`:

`N = 45`
