The volunteers gave 1368 fliers in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Fliers given by volunteers in first neighborhood = [tex]\frac{21}{38}[/tex]
Remaining fliers = 612
Fraction of remaining fliers = [tex]1-\frac{21}{38}=\frac{38-21}{38}[/tex]
Fraction of remaining fliers = [tex]\frac{17}{38}[/tex]
Let,
x be the total fliers given by volunteers.
[tex]\frac{17}{38}\ of\ x=612[/tex]
[tex]\frac{17}{38}x=612[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by [tex]\frac{38}{17}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{38}{17}*\frac{17}{38}x=612*\frac{38}{17}\\\\x=\frac{23256}{17}\\\\x=1368[/tex]
The volunteers gave 1368 fliers in total.
