Question

a sandwich shop has 60 stores and 70 percent of the stores are I California. How many stores are in California and Nevada

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of stores in California 42

The number of stores in Nevada 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total sandwich shop in California and Nevada = 60

The percentage of shop in California = 70%

So, The percentage of shop in Nevada = 100% - 70% = 30%

Let The number of stores in California = c

And The number of stores in Nevada = n

Now, According to question

The number of stores in California = 70% of the total number of shops

I.e c = $\frac{70}{100}$ ×  total number of shops

Or, c =  $\frac{70}{100}$ × 60

∴   c = $\frac{70\times 60}{100}$

or, c =   $\frac{4200}{100}$

or, c = 42

So, The number of stores in California = c =42

Again

The number of stores in Nevada = 30% of the total number of shops

I.e n = $\frac{30}{100}$ ×  total number of shops

Or, n =  $\frac{30}{100}$ × 60

∴   n = $\frac{30\times 60}{100}$

or, n =   $\frac{1800}{100}$

or, n = 18

So, The number of stores in Nevada = n = 18

Hence The number of stores in California 42

And The number of stores in Nevada 18   Answer
