Question

Ms. Mendez ate 18 red skittles, which represented 24% of the entire packet. How many skittles were in the entire packet?

Answer 1

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

When you normally find a percentage of something you multiply. So, if you do the reverse operation, or divide, you'll get your answer.

18/24% is 75. And when you double check this by multiplying 75 by 24% you get 18. So, the bag of skittles had a total of 75 skittles.
