Question

Jake recorded a special album in honor of mother’s day his mom was so excited she purchased 40% of the copies in the store she has 80 copies of the cd how many cds did the stores have for sale

Answer 1

The answer is 200. how I got my answer.

I simply realised that I could not multiply 40% easily to 100%. So I spit it in half, and made 20%=40. then I multiplied 20%×5=100% and I also multiplied 40×5=200.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

200 CD's.

Explanation:

Jake recorded a special album in honor of mother's day. His mom was so excited that she purchased 40% of the copies in the store.

we have tell the total number of CD's in the store.

Let total number of CD's available in the store was = A

Then 40% of the total numbers of CD's = A×40% = 0.04 A

Since 0.04A = 80

A = 80/0.04 = 200

Therefore there were 200 CD's in the store for the sale.
