Question

Cameron has a mask collection. He keeps 267 of the masks on his wall, which is 89%

of his entire collection. What is the total number of masks in Cameron's collection?

Answer 1

300 masks

Explanation:

89% = 0.89

( / ) = divided by

267/total amount of masks = 0.89

267/0.89 = 300

300 masks in total

Answer 2

300 masks

Explanation:

If 267 is 89% of the whole amount, we can set up the following proportion:

`(89)/(100) =(267)/(x)`, where x is the total amount of masks we need to find.

If we cross-multiply, we get 26700=89x. Divide both sides by 89, and we get 300. So, Cameron has a total of 300 masks in his collection.

I hope this helped.
