Question

Kelly ate 3 apples. This represents 50 percent of the bag of apples. How many apples were originally in the bag

Answer 1

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

3 apples are 50% = 0,5

x apples are 100% = 1

___________________

x = (3*1)/0,5

x = 3/0,5

x = 6

There were originally 6 apples in the bag.

Hope this helps!
