If Ava ate 5 wheat crackers, which represents 5 percent of the entire box, we can find the total number of crackers in the box by using the formula for percentage:
\[
\text{Total crackers} = \frac{\text{Number of crackers eaten}}{\text{Percentage eaten}}
\]
In this case:
\[
\text{Total crackers} = \frac{5}{0.05}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\text{Total crackers} = 100
\]
So, there were 100 crackers in the entire box.
\[
\text{Total crackers} = \frac{\text{Number of crackers eaten}}{\text{Percentage eaten}}
\]
In this case:
\[
\text{Total crackers} = \frac{5}{0.05}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\text{Total crackers} = 100
\]
So, there were 100 crackers in the entire box.
