Question

36% of the tarts that a baker baked were strawberry tarts. He baked 98 more chocolate tarts than strawberry tarts. How many tarts did the baker bake in all?​

Answer 1

350

Explanation:

100% - 36% = 64% (we first find out the remaining percentage)

Now we know there are 98 more chocolate tarts than strawberry tarts. We have to find out that percentage.

So, 64% - 36% = 28%

So 98 of the chocolate tarts make up 28%

x --------> 100%

98 --------> 28%

Just follow the percentage formula.

98 * 100 = 9800

9800/28 = 350
