Problema Solution
Luke works in the produce department at the local grocery store. On Friday, 35 people bought a pumpkin. If this number is 28% of the total number of customers, how many customers were in the store on Friday?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the total number of customers in the store on Friday.
0.28x = 35 divide both sides by 0.28
x = 35/0.28
x = 125 people
There were 125 people in the store on Friday.
