Answer 1

To find out how many crackers were in the box, you can set up a proportion based on the information given.

If 5 crackers represent 5% of the entire box, you can calculate the total number of crackers (let's denote it as \( x \)) using the equation:

\[ 5 = 0.05 \times x \]

To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 0.05:

\[ x = \frac{5}{0.05} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ x = 100 \]

So, there were 100 crackers in the box.
