Question

A mean ogre stole 28 of your muffins. That was 4/5 of all of them! With how many did you start?

 

Please show an equation and answer for this problem

Answer 1

Hi Katelyn,

 

  28               5

------ = 28 • --- = 35

(4/5)             4

 

Alternatively, recognizing that 4/5 = 80%

 

28/0.80 = 35
