Question

If 190 students bring lunch and 24% order lunch how many students ate lunch?

Answer 1

250 lunches

Explanation:

If 24% order lunch, that means that 76% bring their lunch (100% - 24% = 76%)

We are trying to find 76% of what number is 190. Let x stand for the total number of lunches

.76x = 190 Divide both sides by .76 76% as a decimal is .76

`(.76x)/(.76)` =
`(190)/(.76)`

x = 250
