Question

2. Jessica ate 45 m&m's in a competition against her classmates. Jessica ate 60% of

the total m&m's eaten. How many m&m's were eaten in the competition?

A. 24
B. 75
C.106
D.27

Answer 1

B. 75

Explanation:

Note that we can get the equation
`45 = 60\% \cdot x`, where x is the total number of m&m's eaten. This becomes
`45 = (60)/(100)x \Rightarrow 45 = (3)/(5)x \Rightarrow x = 75`
