Question

Uncle percy only has 10% of teashirts he started with if he has 25 now how many did he start with

Answer 1

Set up an equal proprtion. 25/x = 10/100 because 25 is 10% of the number you're looking for, or x. 25* 100 = 10x → 2500 = 10x → 250 = x. Uncle Percy started with 250 t-shirts.

Answer 2

250

Explanation:

Since you are looking for the amount of shirts he had you will need to divide 25 by .10 or just multiply by 10.
