Question

Emily sold 96 boxes of cookies for a fundraiser. If she sold 60% of the total boxes of cookies sold for the fundraiser, how many boxes of cookies were sold for the fundraiser total?

Answer 1

Emily sold 96 boxes ....this is 60% of the total boxes...

60% of the total boxes sold = 96
0.60x = 96....with x being the total boxes sold
x = 96 / 0.60
x = 160 <== there were a total of 160 boxes
