Answer:
75 coloured pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Jordon has x total pencils.
We know that 20% of these x pencils is 15, so we have:
20% * x = 15
Remember that % is just "out of 100", so 20% = 20/100 = 0.20. Then:
0.20x = 15
x = 15 / 0.20 = 75
Jordon has 75 coloured pencils.
If -15 is equal to -0.2x, then 15/0.2=75
x=75
You are measuring people and animals, so this is for sure two of your units. For the next units, you need to choose something big enough to hold a large number of these, so you would use square meters and acres. The answer is the third option: <span>number of people per square meter and number of animals per acre</span>
