Brady recorded the number and color of cars in the parking lot. 45% of the cars in the parking lot were white. If Brady counted a total of 81 white cars, how many cars did he count in the parking lot?
Like you can see in the picture, I like to set up a proportion, so 81 over X and 45 over 100. Then, you can cross multiply, so 81 x 100 = 8100 and then divide, 8100 ÷ 45 = 180, your answer!
