PBIS Middle School held a car wash as a fundraiser. 15 trucks were washed. The other 40% of the vehicles were cars. How many total vehicles did they wash?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find what number 15 of 60% of.

We have, 60% × x = 15

or,

60/100 × x = 15

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 60,

x = 25 cars total.

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 15×100÷60, which will give you the answer.
