Andrew sold 60 baseball cards to a friend . This was 80% of Andrews total baseball card collection. How many total baseball cards where in Andrews collection ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 80% of Andrew's (former) baseball card collection is 60. Thus, We divide 60 by 80% (equal to 0.8) to obtain [tex]\frac{60}{0.8}=75[/tex].

840060

Answer:

In total there were 75 cards in Andrews collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60 is 80% of the total amount of cards Andrew has. Therefore, all we have to do to find the total number of baseball cards is to divide 60 by 80 to find 1% and then multiply the result by 100 to get 100% (the total amount of cards). And so we get...

60 / 80 x 100 = 60 / 0.8 = 75
