Question

The students in one classroom sold tickets to the talent show They

sold 200% of the amount of tickets that they sold last year. If they
sold 40 tickets this year, how many did they sell last year?

Answer 1

X= 80

Explanation:

200% = X

100% = 40

40 * 200% = 100% * X

8000 = 100 * X

8000/100 = 100*X / 100

X = 80
