Question

Serenity has a toy car collection. She keeps some in a display case and the rest on the

wall.
104
of her toy cars are on the wall, and 74% of her toy cars are in the display
case. What is the total number of toy cars in Serenity's collection?

Answer 1

If 74% are in the display, then 100% - 74% = 26% are hung on the wall.

This means 104 cars is 26% of her collection.

To find the total collection divide the number on the wall by the percentage of the collection:

104/0.26 = 400

The total number of her collection is 400 cars.
