Question

Thirty percent of Irma’s Boutique’s sales came from leggings. They sold $390 worth of leggings last week. What were the total sales for the Boutique last week?

Answer 1

The total sales of Boutique last week = $1300

Explanation:

Given that:

Percent of sales came from leggings = 30%

Worth of leggings sold = $390

Let,

x be the total sales in the week.

30% of x = 390

`(30)/(100)x=390`

0.3x = 390

Dividing both sides by 0.3

`(0.3x)/(0.3)=(390)/(0.3)\\x=1300`

Hence,

The total sales of Boutique last week = $1300
