Answer 1

140

Explanation:

Given:

In the Stone Ridge apartment complex 35% of the apartments have one bedroom.

If there are 49 one bedroom apartments.

Question asked:

What is the total number of apartments at Stone ridge ?

Solution:

Let total number of apartments at Stone ridge =
`x`

Now according to question:

35% of the total apartments having one bedroom = 49

`35\%\ of x = 49`

`(35)/(100)* x = 49`

`(35x)/(100) = 49`

By cross multiplication:

`35x = 49*100\\35x= 4900\\`

By dividing both sides by 35

`(35x)/(35) = (4900)/(35) \\x = 140`

Therefore, total number of apartments at Stone ridge is 140
