Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A bakery has 36 glazed donuts on display.
This is 80% of the total number of donuts.
Question asked:
what is the total number of donuts in the bakery ?
Solution:
Let total number of donuts in the bakery = [tex]x[/tex]
80% of total number of donuts = 36 (given)
[tex]80\% of x = 36[/tex]
[tex]\frac{80x}{100} = 36[/tex]
Multiplying both side by 100
[tex]80x = 3600[/tex]
Dividing both side by 80
[tex]x = 45\\[/tex]
Thus, the number of donuts in the bakery is 45
