Question

There are 48 DVDs of comedies and dramas on the shelf. If 25% of the DVDs are comedies, how many are dramas?

Answer 1

There are 36 drama DVD's

Solution:

Given that there are 48 DVD's of comedies and dramas on shelf

25 % of DVD's are comedies

To find: number of drama DVD's

Total number of dvd = 48

Number of comedy dvd = 25 % of 48

Let us find 25 % of 48

$\rightarrow 25 \% \text{ of } 48\\\\\rightarrow 25 \% \times 48\\\\\rightarrow \frac{25}{100} \times 48\\\\\rightarrow 0.25 \times 48 = 12$

Thus, number of comedy dvd = 12

Thus we get,

number of drama DVD's = Total number of dvd - number of comedy dvd

number of drama dvd = 48 - 12 = 36

Thus there are 36 drama dvd's
