The total number of toy cars in Bashir's collection is 160

<h3>Solving linear equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the total number of toy cars in Bashir's collection

Let the total number of toy cars in Bashir's collection be x

From the given information,

"136 of his toy cars are on the wall, and 15% of his toy cars are in the display case"

That is,

x = 136 + 15% of x

Now, solve for x

x = 136 + 15% of x

x = 136 + 0.15×x

x = 136 + 0.15x

Collect like terms

x - 0.15x = 136

0.85x = 136

Divide both sides 0.85

0.85x/0.85 = 136/0.85

x = 160

Hence, the total number of toy cars in Bashir's collection is 160

The total number of toy cars in Bashir's collection according to the description is; 160 toy cars.

<h3>What is the total number of cars in Bashir's collection?</h3>

It follows from the task content that 15% of Bashir's collection are in the display case.

Hence, the inference which can be drawn from the statement is that; 85% of Bashir's car are on the wall.

Consequently, 85% of Total = 136.

(85/100) × Total = 136

Total = (136 × 100)/85

Total = 160 toy cars.
