33 is the answer I think
He has "x" total, so if "x" is the 100%, and 27 is the 60%, what's "x"?
well [tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ x&100\\ 27&60 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{27}=\cfrac{100}{60}[/tex]
solve for "x".
I'm just gonna assume that the question is what's the total number of cars he has/ the other part of his collection
His whole collection has 45 cars in it. I got that by multiplying 60% by 27
the other 40% of his collection is made up of 18 cars
0.60 × collection = 27 cars
collection = 27 cars / 0.60 . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable
collection = 45 cars
Samuel has 45 cars in his collection.
27/60 = 0.45
0.45 * 100 = 45
Samuel has 45 toy cars
Problema Solution
Samuel has a collection of toy cars. His favorites are the 27 red ones, which make up 60% of his collection. How many toy cars does Samuel have?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x = the number of toy cars that Samuel has
60% of x are 27
0.60*x = 27
by solving we find
x = 45 cars
He has 25 toy cars left
He has 45 toy cars left
set up a proportion. you have 60/100 and 27/x
now you do 27x100=2700 then divide that by 60
with a calculator you get 45
then you can check your answer by saying 60% of 45 and you get 27 Samuel has 45 toy cars in total
Hey! If 27 cars make up 60%, divide that by 6 to get 10% of the answer which is 4.5. Multiply 4.5 by 10 to get 100% which is 45 cars for 100%.
