Question

Radha had a box of cookies. She gave 30% of the
cookies to her friend. She ate 25% of the cookies. If
there are 27 cookies left in the box, how many cookies
were there in the box initially?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 25% - 30% = Percentage of cookies left

45% = Percentage of cookies left

Let total number of cookies be x

45/100 * x = 27

x = 27/0.45

x = 60

Therefore, there were 60 cookies initially in the box

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of cookies be X

Percentage of cookies left = 100% –( 30% + 25% )

= 100% –55%

= 45%

According to question 45% of x = 27

45/100 x = 27

X = 27 x 100/45

X = 2700/45

X = 60

Therefore total amount of cookies in the box initially 60 .
