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 <u>had</u> a total of 75 skittles.

Solve this equation: 80 = 3y + 2y + 4 + 1.
Verdich [7]
Let us first write down the given equation.
80 = 3y + 2y + 4 + 1
80 = 5y + 5
80 - 5 = 5y
75 = 5y
Just reversing both sides we get
5y = 75
Now dividing both sides by 5 we get
y = 15
So the value of y is 15. I hope the procedure for solving the problem is clear to you. In future you can solve such problems with ease following the procedure described.
