Question

tanner collected 360 cans and bottles, this was 40% of what Reggie collected, how many cans and bottles did Reggie collect

Answer 1

360x.6+360=576
I got .6 because 40% would be .4 and 40+60=100
So Riggie collected 576 cans and bottles

Answer 2

Tanner = 40% * Reggie;

Reggie = Tanner : 40%;

Reggie = 360 : 40/100 = 360 * 100/40 = 900 bottles
