Question

Uncle Percy sold t-shirts at the show. Now he only has 10% of the t/shirts now, how many did he start with?

Answer 1

the correct answer is 250

Answer 2

Answer: He started with 250 t-shirts.

Explanation:

Let the total number of shirts he start with be 'x'.

He has only 10% of the t-shirts.

Number of t-shirts he has now = 25

According to question, it becomes,

`(10)/(100)* x=25\\\\0.1* x=25\\\\x=(25)/(0.1)\\\\x=250`

Hence, he started with 250 t-shirts.

Thus, Second option is correct.
