Question

Bob brought 40% of the collected canned goods to the food pantry, 11

Bob brought 160 cans to the pantry, how many cans were collected?
​

Answer 1

The correct answer is 400 total cans.

Since we know that Bob brought 40% of the cans, we can set up this equation with (c) as our missing value.

c x .4 = 160

divide 160 by .4

c = 400 cans
