Question

Stephanie put 40% of her t-shirts in her dresser. a) If she put 36 t-shirts in her dresser, how many t-shirts does Stephanie own? b) How many t-shirts are not in her dresser?

Answer 1

a.90 b.54

Explanation:

40%=0.4 number of t-shirt in her dresser

Total number of t-shirt is 100%

=1.0

let x be the total number of t-shirt

0.4=36

1.0= x

0.4x=36

dividing both sides by 0.4

x=90

b. 90-36=54 t-shirts
