Question

A sports store received a shipment of 150 footballs and basketballs. 20% were basketballs. How many footballs were in the shipment?

Answer 1

0.20(150) = 30 basketballs were in the shipment. Since the shipment presumably comprised only footballs and basketballs, the remainder of the shipment must consist of footballs.

150 - 30 = 120 footballs were in the shipment.
