Question

A fruit stand has a 18 red apples.this is 40% of the total apples in the stand. How many apples are in their stand?

Answer 1

You would multiply 18 by .4 and then add it to 18. 18 * .4 = 7.2. Since you can't have one fifth of an apple, it's 25 total.

Answer 2

18+18=36. 20% is 9  apples. 36+9=45. 45 apples at the stand. (not good for business)
