Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of boxes sold for fundraiser are 185 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times100}{Total\ value}$

As given

Emily sold 111 boxes of cookies for a fundraiser.

If she sold 60% of the total number of boxes sold for the fundraiser .

Percentage = 60 %

Part value = 111

$60 = \frac{111\times100}{Total\ value}$

$60 = \frac{11100}{Total\ value}$

$Total\ value= \frac{11100}{60}$

Total value = 185

Therefore the total number of boxes sold for fundraiser are 185 .
