Answer 1

Answer:

400 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Sold in %age = 60%

Sold in unit = 240 cards

it means 60 % = 240 cards

1% = 4 cards

Everything is 100% in itself so

=> 100/60 ×240 = 400

Answer 2

= 240/60×100

= 400 cards

if barry sold 240 cards which is 60 percent of his collection . so , to recognise the total number of cards we have to convert percentage to number of cards . This formula is use to convert percentage

= number / percentage × 100

= 240 / 60 × 100

= 400 cards
