You purchase 2 action figures per week. You have 48 action figures, which is 75% of the total number of action figures you need to complete your collection. How many weeks until your collection is complete?

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of action figures = x

75% of x = 48

[tex]\dfrac{75}{100}*x=48\\\\Multiply \ by \ 100\\\\75*x =48*100\\\\Divide \ by \ 75\\\\x=\dfrac{48*100}{75}\\\\\\x=16*4\\\\x= 64[/tex]

Remaining action figures need to be collected = total figures - number of action figures I have

= 64 - 48 = 16

Number of weeks = 16 ÷ 2 = 8

It will take 8 weeks to collect 16 action figures.
