Question

14 of the kids running the Winterland Fun Run have jingle bells on their shoes. If 56% of the kids running the Winterland Fun Run have jingle bells on their shoes, how many total kids are running in the Winterland Fun Run?

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

Answer 2

25 kids

Explanation:

Let k = total number of kids running

this equation can be derived from the question

56% x k = 14

0.56 x k = 14

divide both sides of the equation by 0.56

k = 14/0.56

k = 25
