Question

a sandwich shop has 60 stores and 70 percent of the stores are I California. How many stores are in California and Nevada

Answer 1

The number of stores in California 42

The number of stores in Nevada 18

Explanation:

Given as :

The total sandwich shop in California and Nevada = 60

The percentage of shop in California = 70%

So, The percentage of shop in Nevada = 100% - 70% = 30%

Let The number of stores in California = c

And The number of stores in Nevada = n

Now, According to question

The number of stores in California = 70% of the total number of shops

I.e c =
`(70)/(100)` × total number of shops

Or, c =
`(70)/(100)` × 60

∴ c =
`(70* 60)/(100)`

or, c =
`(4200)/(100)`

or, c = 42

So, The number of stores in California = c =42

Again

The number of stores in Nevada = 30% of the total number of shops

I.e n =
`(30)/(100)` × total number of shops

Or, n =
`(30)/(100)` × 60

∴ n =
`(30* 60)/(100)`

or, n =
`(1800)/(100)`

or, n = 18

So, The number of stores in Nevada = n = 18

Hence The number of stores in California 42

And The number of stores in Nevada 18 Answer
