Bella is learning to type. She typed a letter to her teacher but misspelled 8 words. If she misspelled 25% of the words she typed, how many words did she type in her letter?

_________________________________________

She misspelled 8 words = 25% of the words she typed

25%= (8 / total words)* 100

0.25 = 8 / total words

total words = 8/0.25

total words = 32

__________________________-

The total words she typed in her letter were 32
