A restaurant wants to study how well its salads sell. The circle graph shows the sales over the past few days. If 35 of the salads sold were garden salads, how many total salads did the restaurant sell?

The restaurants sold 50 salads.

-The given is that they sold 35 garden salads which is 70% of their sales.
-Now, to get how many salads 1% is equal to, you divide 35 by 70
-35/70 = 0.5
-So now, multiply 16 by 0.5 and 14 by 0.5
-16(0.5)=8 and 14(0.5)=7
-Add the three together to get 50
-Now, check to see if it works
70% of 50 is 35
16% of 50 is 8
14% of 50 is 7

Hope this helps and is right, have a good day!
