Not i bought 56 boxes of tiles from the home improvement store, which was 4/7 of the total number of boxes that they had. how many boxes of tiles did the store have?

Given information

Boxes of tiles bought = 56
Fraction of tiles bought = 4/7 of the total


Form the equation and solve

4/7 of the total = 56
Total tiles = 56 ÷ 4/7
Total tiles = 56 x 7/4
Total tiles = 392/4
Total tiles = 98


The store had 98 tiles

Xis equal to three
