Answer:

x=180

Explanation:

Let us have x represent the entire mask collection

We know that 117 is 65% of his collection. We want to know the total number of masks he has

The equation we set up is:

117 is 65% of x: this translates to

117=0.65x, then we solve for x by dividing 0.65 by both sides

180=x

The total number of masks Josiah has is 180.
