Answer:
The total number of fliers they gave out is 1368.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Volunteers for a political campaign gave out 21/38 of their fliers. They gave out the remaining 612 fliers in another neighborhood.
Now, to find the total number of fliers they gave out.
Let the total number of fliers be [tex]x.[/tex]
Number of fliers they gave out for a political campaign:
[tex]\frac{21}{38}\ of\ x[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{21}{38} \times x[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{21x}{38}[/tex]
Number of fliers remaining they gave out in another neighborhood = 612.
Now, to get the total number of fliers by putting an equation:
[tex]x-\frac{21x}{38} =612[/tex]
[tex]\frac{38x-21x}{38} =612[/tex]
[tex]\frac{17x}{38} =612[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 38 we get:
[tex]17x=23256[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 17 we get:
[tex]x=1368.[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of fliers they gave out is 1368.
