Question

A gumball machine has 280 red gumballs. If the red gumballs are 50% of the total, how many gumballs are in the gumball machine?

Answer 1

560

Explanation:

i say this because if 280 is only 50%, then you need to find out how to get to 100%. we already know that 50% is half of 100%. now all you need to do is multiply 280 by 2 to get 560! hope this helped :)

Answer 2

560

Explanation:

Because it said that 280 is half of the gumballs so 280*2 is 560

Hope this helps:)
