Answer 2

290

Explanation:

Formula :

Number of action figures on wall = Total number of figures × % of figures on wall

=============================================================

Given :

⇒ Total number of action figures = 500

⇒ % of action figures on wall = 58%

=============================================================

Solving :

⇒ Action figures on wall = 500 × 58%

⇒ Action figures on wall = 500 × 58/100 (all % are ratios of 100%)

⇒ Action figures on wall = 5 × 58

⇒ Action figures on wall = 290
