Question

Lisa picks berries for her grandmother to make jams and jellies. She brings her a basket with 1,560 berries. Her grandmother smiles and says, “Thank you Lisa. That is 65% of the berries that we need.” How many berries does Lisa’s grandmother need?

Answer 1

Answer:

2400 berries

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the berries needed is X berries

So 65% of X = 1560

or, 65*X/100 = 1560

or, X = 1560*100/65

thus, X = 2400
