Question

Anita brings 7 dolls to her grandma’s house. These dolls represent 20% of Anita’s doll collection. What is the total number of dolls in the collection? And WHY?

Answer 1

Answer: 35 dolls

Explanation:

7/x and 20/100

20 times 5 is 100

and 7 times 5 is 35. Therefore 35 dolls are in Anita’s collection

Answer 2

35

Explanation:

(7/20) *100=35

This is why because if 20 percent is equal to 7, so 40 % will be 14, 80% 28 and 100% will be 35
