Question

Alex has 3 pens in his pencil case. This is 25% of the number of pens that he has

How many pens does Alex have altogether?​

Answer 1

Alex has 12 pens altogether !

Explanation:

- 25% = 25/100

- 25% × 4 = 100%

- 3 × 4 = 12

Answer 2

12 pens

Explanation:

25% basically means 25/100 which is simplified to 1/4. Now if 3 pens are 1/4 of all the pens, then you multiply 3 by 4 to give you 12 pens in all.
