Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- The can of net consists of almonds and cashews
- 32% of the nuts are almond
- There are 85 cashews in the can.
To Find
- Number of nuts in the can.
Solution
Let the total number of nuts = n
Percentage of cashews :
⇛ 100% - percentage of almonds
⇛ 100% - 32%
⇛ 68%
The equation becomes:
⇛ 68% of n is equal to 85
⇛ 68% × n = 85
⇛ 68/100 × n = 85
⇛ n = 85 × 100/68
⇛ n = 125
There are 125 nuts in the can in total.
