Question

a legal firm offers some services"pro bono" which means that they work for clients free of charge. the legal firm accepted 2% of its cases pro bono last year. what is the total number of cases they completed if they accepted 252 pro bono cases?

Answer 1

252 divided by 2 percent = 12600 cases

Answer 2

Let 'x' be the total number of cases the legal firm completed.

number of pro bono cases = 2% of x

as per the question,

given number of pro bono cases = 252

this means,

2 % of x = 252

(2÷100) * x = 252

on solving we get

x = 12600

so, the total number of cases legal firm accepted = 126, 00
