Carla bought a crate of red and

green apples for her bakery. The
crate had 140 red apples, which
were 70% of the apples in the
crate. How many apples were in
the crate?

Answer 1

200.

Explanation:

70% is equivalent to 140

10 % .............................. 140/7 = 20 apples

100% ................................. 10*20 = 200.

Answer 2

Explanation:

140/70=2 Therefore, 1 apple equals 2 percent

The remaining 30 percent times 2 equals 60

60 apples plus 140 apples equals 200 apples
