Question

On a particular Saturday, the actual number of balloons sold in weekend fair was only 65% of the total predicted to be sold by the shopkeeper. If the number of balloons sold was 52, find the number of balloons predicted to be sold by the shopkeeper?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no of balloons predicted to be sold be x

percentage of balloons sold=65%

no of balloons sold=52

therefore 65% of x=52

65/100*x=52

65x=52*100

65x=5200

x=5200/65

x=80

the shopkeeper predicted 80 balloons would be sold
