Question

8% of the rides in the park are water rides if there are 4 water rides how many rides are there in total

Answer 1

x = total rides.
4/x × 100 = 8
400 = 8x
400 / 8 = x
x = 50.

Answer 2

Answer: The total number of rides in the park = 50

Explanation:

Let x = Number of rides in the park.

Also, 8% of the rides in the park are water rides.

if there are 4 water rides then it means that

8% of x = 4

`\Rightarrow\ (8)/(100)* x = 4\ \ \ [\text{We convert percent into fraction by dividing it by 100}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(4*100)/(8)=50`

Hence, the total number of rides in the park = 50
