Question

An artist uses 18 colors on an art palette to paint a picture. This is 72% of all the colors on the palette. How many colors are on the artist’s palette?

Answer 1

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Think the number is x

So

According to the question

The equation is

x×72%=18

x×72/100=18

x×18/25=18

x=18×25/18

x=25

So

There are 25 colours on the artist's palette

Answer 2

Answer:

He actually has 25 paints.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you take 18x100(100 is the total % under 72 because 72 is out of 100) that equals 1800. then, you take 1800 and divide it by 72. That is because 72 is the actual number that we already have. You would get 25 after dividing. hope this helps:)
