Answer 1

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A bakery has 36 glazed donuts on display.

This is 80% of the total number of donuts.

Question asked:

what is the total number of donuts in the bakery ?

Solution:

Let total number of donuts in the bakery = $x$

80% of total number of donuts = 36  (given)

$80\% of x = 36$

$\frac{80x}{100} = 36$

Multiplying both side by 100

$80x = 3600$

Dividing both side by 80

$x = 45$

Thus, the number of donuts in the bakery is 45
