Mr. O’Grady harvested his garden. He put the tomatoes into boxes, each box represents 20% of his tomato harvest. Each box holds 24 tomatoes. How many tomatoes did Mr. O’Grady harvest?
since each box represents 20% you have to find out how many boxes there are. 20× x=100 so there are 5 boxes. now you just have to multiply 5×24 so there are 120 tomatoes.
