Tanner collected 360 cans and bottles while fundraising for his baseball team. This was 40% of what Reggie collected. How many cans and bottles did Reggie collect?

Verified Answer :

The amount Reggie collected is equal to x
\(\frac{360}{.4}= \frac{x}{1}\)

\(x = \frac{360}{.4} = \frac{360}{ \frac{4}{10} } = \frac{360*10}{4} = 900\)


apologiabiology

360=40%
what is 100%
360:40=x:100
360/40=x/100
36/4=x/100
9=x/100
mulltiply both sides by 100
900=x

answer is 900
