Answer:
Reggie collected 900 cans and bottles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Tanner collected 360 cans and bottles while fundraising for his baseball team.
This was 40% of what Reggie collected.
Now, to find the number of cans and bottles Reggie collected.
Let the number of cans and bottles Reggie collected be [tex]x.[/tex]
Number of cans and bottles Tanner collected = 360.
Percentage of Reggie's collection = 40%.
Now, to get the number of cans and bottles Reggie collected:
[tex]40\%\ of\ x=360[/tex]
[tex]\frac{40}{100} \times x=360[/tex]
[tex]0.40x=360[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.40 we get:
[tex]x=900.[/tex]
Therefore, Reggie collected 900 cans and bottles.
