Chick Fil-A word problem Help!! plz

Question

20% of Chick Fil A's profits came from serving breakfast. If breakfast profits were $403 million, how much came from serving other items???

Answer 1

Let x be the total profits for the year.

"20% of x is from serving breakfast" This is" 0.20x = $403M

note: 20% is 0.20 or 1/5

x/5 = $403M

x = 5 * $403M

x = $2015M

The profit amount from other sources is $2015M - $403M = $1612M

or, you could compute 80% of $2015M = $1612M

Answer 2

80% came from other items

80% is four times 20%

So 4 times $403 million came for other items
