Problema Solution

jen has gone to 35 second hand stores which is 70% of total stores. How many total are there?

Answer provided by our tutors

let total stores = x 

stores visited = 35 

percent of stores = 70 %

 

therefore 70 % of total stores = 35

70 % of x = 35 

(70 / 100) * x = 35 

0.7 * x = 35 

or x  = 35 / 0.7 = 50 

total stores = 50   (answer)
