Question

Two types of sandwiches were made for a tea party. 55% of the sandwiches were cheese sandwiches and the rest were chicken sandwiches. if there were 252 chicken sandwiches, how many sandwiches were made altogether?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, the formula can be used

I = P / T

Where I is the fraction of the sample

P is the amount of the sample

T is the total amount of sample

Since P = 252 chicken sandwiches and I = 0.55

And solve for T

T = 252 / 0.52

T = 458 sandwiches in total
