Answer 1

Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

In a certain hardware store, 3% of the lawn mowers needed new labels. If the price per label was 40 and the total cost for new mowers labels was 960,

Let say Lawn mowers  in hardware store were = L

3 % of the lawn mowers needed new labels

3 %  =  (3/100)L  = 0.03L

price per label was 40

Price for 0.03L =  40 * 0.03L  = 12.L

1.2L = 960

=> L = 800

800 lawn mowers are in the hardware store
