Question

At a deli 56 sandwiches were sold during lunchtime. Twenty five percent of the sandwiches sold were tuna salad sandwiches. How many of the sandwiches sold

Answer 1

Well if %100 was sold you'd have none. %50 you have half which i

Answer 2

There was 14 tuna salad sandwiches that were sold. And there was 42 sandwiches that were not tuna salad sandwiches.

Since 25% of 56 is 14, 14 represents how many tuna salad sandwiches that was sold. And you do 56 - 14 to find out how many were not tuna salad sandwiches.

So 14 tuna salad sandwiches sold.

Correct me if I am wrong.
