Ava ate 5 wheat crackers or 5 percent of the entire box how many crackers were in the box

Answer 1

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.
