Question

In a box of crayons, 24% of the crayons are blue. There are 48 blue crayons in the box. Select from the drop-down menu to correctly identify the total number of crayons in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

200 crayons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total crayons be  'x'

24% of x = blue crayons

24% of x = 48

$\dfrac{24}{100}*x =48\\\\x=48*\dfrac{100}{24}\\\\x = 2*100\\\\x = 200$
