Carla bought a crate of red and green apples for her bakery. The crate had 140 red apples, which were 40% of the apples in the crate. How many apples were in the crate?

Answer 1

350

Explanation:

Do 140/0.4=350

Answer 2

350 apples

Explanation:

a = total number of apples in the crate

a* 40% = number of red apples

a * .40 = 140

Divide each side by .40

a * .40/.40 = 140/.40

a =350
