Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of milkshakes sold on Monday = 300

Number of milkshakes without whipped cream = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Adrienne adds whipped cream to 210 milk shakes which is 70% of the total milk shakes sold.

To find the total milkshakes sold.

Solution:

Let the total number of milkshakes sold on Monday be = $x$

Percentage of milkshakes with whipped cream added to them = 70%

Number of milk shakes with added whipped cream can be given as:

⇒ $70\% \textrm{ of the total number of milkshakes}$

⇒ $70\% x$

⇒ $\frac{70}{100}x$  [Representing percent in fraction form]

⇒ $0.7x$  [evaluating in decimals]

We know that the number of milkshakes with whipped cream added to them = 210.

So, we have:

$0.7x=210$

Solving for $x$

Dividing both sides by  0.7

$\frac{0.7x}{0.7}=\frac{210}{0.7}$

∴ $x=300$

Thus, total number of milkshakes sold on Monday = 300

Number of milkshakes without whipped cream = $300-210$= 90
