Question

If 30% of a bag of Skittles is 12 pieces, how
many skittles are in the entire bag? Put x=
then your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is 30% of 40

30% x X = 12 or 30/100 x = 12

so if you multiply both sides by 100 and divide both sides by 30

we get X = 12 x 100/30

= 40

(BTW if you want to use a calculator just put 12×100÷30 which will give you the answer)
