Question

In a box of crayons, 24% of the crayons are blue. There are 48 blue crayons in the box. Select from the drop-down menu to correctly identify the total number of crayons in the box.

Answer 1

I took 48÷24% to get the total number of crayons in the box because if you multiply a number by a percent you get whatever is like, 7% of 100, if you divide a number (48) by a percent (24%) you GET the original number (200) that was multiplied by the percent (24%) to get the number you HAVE (48). So, the total number of crayons is 200.

Answer 2

The total number of crayons that are in the box is 200.

Percentage of crayons that are blue = 24%

Number of blue crayons = 48

Let the total number of crayons be represented by x.

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

= 24% × x = 48

0.24 × x = 48.

0.24x = 48

x = 48/0.24

x = 200

Therefore, the total number of crayons that are in the box is 200.
