Question

A pizza store sold 36 pepperoni pizzas in a day, which was 24% of their pizza sales.

What was the total number of pizzas sold that day?

Answer 1

150 pizzas

Explanation

36 pizzas are equivalent to 24% so i divided both sides by 4 which gave me 9 pizzas for 6% . But 6 cannot fully fit into 100 so it will have to be a decimal i did 100 divided by 6 so i would know what i would have to divide both sides by which gave me 50/3 which was 16.66666667 which when i times by 9 by it gave me 150 pizzas

Hope this helps
