Acotton candy vendor has 24 cones of blue cotton candy to sell. if the blue cotton candy is 75% of the total number of cones, how many total cotton candy cones does he have?

32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion. We know that 24 is 75% of an unknown amount og cones. Let's call it x. We write equal ratios of comparing percent and comparing the 24 to the total number. We then set them equal.

We then cross multiply across the equal sign from numerator to the opposite numerator.

75(x)=24(100)

75x=2400

We divide to find x.

x=32.
