Asked by Quinten

Last week, a sporting goods store had a big sale. During the sale, shoppers bought 1/15 of the store's basketballs.
After the sale, there were 308 basketballs left. How many basketballs
were there originally? Can someone please show me how to solve this step by step?
Answered by Ms. Sue
(14/15)x = 308

x = 308 / (14/15)

x = 308 * (15/14)

x = 4620/14 = 330
