Question

An ice cream shop sold 48 vanilla milkshakes in a day, which was 40% of the total number of milkshakes sold that day. what was the total number of milkshakes that the ice cream shop sold that day?

a.) 60
b.) 72
c.) 100
d.) 120

Answer 1

`120 \: milkshakes`

Explanation:

`(48)/(x) = (40)/(100)`

`(x)40 = (48)100`

`(x)40 = 4800`

`((x)40)/(40) = (4800)/(40)`

`x = (4800)/(40)`

`x = 120`

`120 \: milkshakes`

Answer 2

d 120 because 40% is 120
