20% of my candies are chocolate candies. I had 25 chocolate candies. How many candies did I have altogether
0.2x = 25
Solve for x.
20% - 25
100% - x
Multiply diagonally and divide horizontally, so it would be (100% * 25) / 20%
To find out how many candies you had altogether, we need to determine the total number of candies, given that 20% of them are chocolate candies.
If we know that 20% of the candies are chocolate candies and you had 25 chocolate candies, we can set up the following equation:
0.20 * Total Number of Candies = 25
To solve for the total number of candies, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.20:
Total Number of Candies = 25 / 0.20
Now, let's calculate the result:
Total Number of Candies = 125
Therefore, you had 125 candies altogether.
