Question

Bob's Gift Shop sold 800 cards for Mother's Day. One salesman, Maya, sold 10% of the cards sold for Mother's Day. How many cards did Maya sell?

Divide/scale down to solve for the missing percent.

Answer 1

The answer is 80 because 10% of 800 is 80

Answer 2

Answer: 80

Explanation:

100% - 90% = 10% > 0.1

800 / 0.1 = 80

80 Cards = 10% | 800 x 0.9 = 800, + 80 = 880
