Enrique and yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on halloween. they gave half of their candy to charity. yolanda took 180 pieces of the candy and enrique took the rest. enrique told his mother he got 64% of the candy. what did enrique do wrong in calculating his percentage?

500 − 250  = 250 pieces left after donation

Yolanda got  180 piecesthen Enrique  got 70 pieces

So he got   70 /250  = 7/25  =  28%  of the remaining candy

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.

5+2x=a
