Question

Lola has 8 bear figurines. These bear figurines make up 40% of her collection of animal figurines. Find the total number

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Let the total number of the bear figurines be N} \\ \text{Thus,} \\ 40\text{ percent of N=8} \\ (40)/(100)* N=8 \\ (40N)/(100)=8 \\ 40N=100*8 \\ 40N=800 \\ N=(800)/(40) \\ N=20 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the total number of bear figurines are 20
