If 75 counters are 34 of a set how many counters are in the whole set?

Answer 1

To find the total number of counters in the whole set, you can set up a proportion. If 75 counters represent 34 of the set, you can write it as ( \frac{75}{34} = \frac{x}{100} ), where ( x ) is the total number of counters in the whole set. Solving for ( x ) gives ( x = \frac{75 \times 100}{34} ), which calculates to approximately 220.59. Since you can't have a fraction of a counter, you would round to 221 counters in the whole set.
