Question

Barbara has 25 shirts in her closet 0.6 of her shirts have short sleeves. How many shirts with long sleeves does Barbara have in her closet?

Answer 1

Barbara has 10 shirts with long sleeves

100% of Barbara's shirts is 25

Given: 60% of Barbara's shirts are short sleeves.

That means, 1.0 - 0.6 = 0.4 --> 40% of Barbara's shirts are long sleeves.

We need to find: 40% of 25

0.4 * 25 = 10

10 long sleeved shirts
