Question

A bakery sold 36 brownies in a day, which was 30% of the total items sold that day. What was the total number of items the bakery sold that day?

(show work please)

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 120

Explanation:

We know that 36 is 30% of total items

So our equation would be 36/? = 30/100

From there we cross multiply so 36x100 = 3600

From there, we divide 3600 by 100

Therefore, your answer is 120
