Question

A gumball machine has 240 red gumballs. If the red gumballs are 50% of the total number of gumballs, how many gumballs are in the gumball machine?

Answer 1

480
This is because 50% is half of the total. So to find the total, multiply 240 by 2.

Answer 2

480 because 50% is just haf and half has to be equal to the 240 so you just add 240 to 240
