Question

mitt ate 24 peanuts this represents 75% of the bag of peanuts how many peanuts were originally in the bag

Answer 1

There are 32 peanuts in total in the bag

Answer 2

there are 32 peanuts in total ( the original)
Show Yor Work : 24 is the part
75 is the percent out of 100
So think as it if it was .....

part/whole = percent/100
REMEBER THIS: 100 WILL ALWAYS BE THE TOTAL OF THE PERCENT!!!!!!!
So you multiply 24 ˣ 100 =2400/75 = 32
This is a method for cross multiply..... If you have any comments or question dm me in the inbox.
