Question

Maria threaded 75% of the beads she had to make a necklace.if 32 beads remain find the total number of beads she had

Answer 1

from the question remaining 25% beads equal to 32

of total 25% is 32 ...we can takr x as the total no. of beads

x×25/100=32

x×1/4=32

x=32×4

=128

Answer 2

Since 3/4 of the beads had been threaded and 1/4 remain, it would mean that 3 times the amount of beads left have been threaded which would be 3*32 = 96. Since we want to know the total number of beads we could add the remaining beads and the number of beads threaded which would be 32+96 which is 128.

I hope this helps you.
