Question

HELP HELP HELP ITS DUE TODAY Bob's gift shop sold a record number of cards for Mother's Day. One salesman sold 43 cards, which was 5% of the cards sold for Mother's Day. How many cards were sold for Mother's Day?

Answer 1

860 cards

Explanation:

`(5)/(100) =(43)/(x)`

43 cards only represents 5% of the total cards sold on Mother's Day. So create proportions and solve for the number of cards that represents 100%.

5x = 43*100

5x = 4300

x = 860
