I like healthy foods that have a high percentage of my daily vitamins. I bought a bag of apples. There are still six apples left That's 75% of the apples. How many apples did I have to begin with?​

Answer:

8 apples to begin with.

Explanation:

First, we know that 75% is 3/4 of 100%

If 3/4 = 6 apples then we need to divide each side by three to get 1/4.

So 1/4 = 2

Now, we multiply each side by 4 to get 4/4

So 4/4(100%) = 8

8 apples is the answer
