Question

24 red marbles is 40% of ____ marbles

Answer 1

40% = .4 because % means hundredths. So 40% = 40/100 = .4

Let x be the total number of marbles.

Then, .4x = 24

Divide both sides by .4

x = 60 and 24 is 40% of 60 marbles

Answer 2

HI! The answer to that is 60 marbles.


`(24)/(60) = (4)/(10)`
