Question

At a cat show, 60% of the cats had long hair. There were 168 cats with long hair in the show. How many cats were in the show?

Answer 1

Let's call the total number of cats x.

We know that 0.6x = 168

To find x, we divide both sides by 0.6

x = 168/0.6

x = 280 cats

Answer 2

There are 280 cats total. 60% of 280= 168
