Question

On a plate of sandwiches,2/5 of them are egg sandwiches and the rest are chicken sandwiches. If there are 24 egg sandwiches, how many sandwiches are there altoghether.​

Answer 1

"60" sandwiches are there altoghether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\frac{2}{5}$ be the egg sandwiches .

∴ Chicken sandwiches = 1 - $\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$

Given, $\frac{2}{5}$ = 24

⇒ x = 60

∴ $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$ · 60

= 36

Hence, "60" sandwiches are there altoghether.
