Question

Thirty percent of Irma’s Boutique’s sales came from leggings. They sold $390 worth of leggings last week. What were the total sales for the Boutique last week?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total sales of Boutique last week = $1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Percent of sales came from leggings = 30%

Worth of leggings sold = $390

Let,

x be the total sales in the week.

30% of x = 390

$\frac{30}{100}x=390$

0.3x = 390

Dividing both sides by 0.3

$\frac{0.3x}{0.3}=\frac{390}{0.3}\\x=1300$

Hence,

The total sales of Boutique last week = $1300
