Question

John received a shipment of 3 crates, this was only 20% of his total order. How many crates did John order in all?

Answer 1

Total number of crates John order = 15 crates

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of crates John received = 3 crates

Amount of order John received = 20%

Find:

Total number of crates John order

Computation:

Total number of crates John order = Total number of crates John received / Amount of order John received

Total number of crates John order = 3 / 20%

Total number of crates John order = 3 / 0.2

Total number of crates John order = 15 crates
