Correct response:
48 M&Ms
Explanation:
If 12 M&Ms is 25% of all the M&Ms in the bag, then you can find the total number of M&Ms by dividing 12 by 25% (which is the same as dividing by 0.25).
12 / 0.25 = 48
So, there were 48 M&Ms in the bag before Michael started to eat them.
Michael ate 12 M&Ms from a bag. This was 25% of all of the M&Ms in the bag.
How many M&Ms were in the bag before Michael started to eat them?
