Chloe has 500 marbles.
24% of them are red.
How many red marbles does she have?

Sagot :

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation: Since the equation is asking for 24% percent of 500 we will have to solve by putting them both as fractions. 24 percent automatically means the denominator will be 100 so we have 24/100. 500 is the denominator since that's the base number we are trying to solve for 24% of 500. So we put x over 500. The equation will be:

24/100 x/500

We multiply diagonally so 24*500=12000.

We then divide 500 by 100 which equals 120.

The reason why we didn't multiply 100 and x is because we are trying to solve for x so we had to simplify each side until we got what x was equal to.
