Question

0.87 of the soldiers were brave. If 1914 were brave how many soldiers were there total?

Answer 1

Answer: 2200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, total soldiers are 100x

Then brave soldiers are $100x$ × 0.87 = 87x

Now, 87x = 1914 ⇒ x = $\frac{1914}{87}$ ⇒ $100x = 100$ × $\frac{1914}{87} = 2200$, total number of soldiers
