Question

Research indicates that the leading brand of laundry detergent accounted for 35% of the 400,000 total sales in the marketplace. How many sales were made by all the other brands combined?

Answer 1

Answer:

140,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 400,000 * 0.35 = 140,000.

When given a percentage, take the number and divide by 100.

In this case 35 / 100 = 0.35.

Then you can take the total amount and multiply it by the percentage in decimal form.

In this case 400,000 * 0.35
