Question

Cathy’s customer base is 2/3 residential and 1/3 business. If she has 350 residential customers, how many total customers does she have?

Answer 1

Answer: She has 525 total customers.

Explanation:

To find how many customers she has in total you would have to divide 350 by 2, then multiply the answer by 3, and you would get 525. Also to check your answer you could do 525 divided by three which equals 175, and then do 175 times two, which equals 350, so you know the answer is right. :)
