Question

A sports store received a shipment of 400 baseball gloves, 30% were left-

handed. How many right-handed gloves were in the shipment."

Answer 1

280 right handed gloves. First, we'd need to find out the amount of left handed gloves. We do this by multiplying 0.3 (which is basically 30%) by the total number of gloves. This is because we are finding out 30% of the 400 gloves, and "of" represents multiplication. We get 120. Then, we subtract that number from 400 to get the amount of right handed gloves, which is 280. hope this helps :)

Answer 2

`280` were right-handed gloves.

Explanation:

The first step in this problem is to find out how many left-handed gloves there were in the shipment.

`400 * .30 = 120`

We know that there were 120 left-handed gloves in the shipment.

To figure out how many right-handed gloves there were, you would need to take the total amount of left-handed gloves and subtract it from the total amount that were in the shipment.

`400 - 120 = 280`

`280` right-handed gloves.
