Melcher used 24% of the memory card on his digital camera while taking pictures at a family reunion. If Melcher took 96 pictures at the family reunion, how many pictures can the memory card hold?
do 96/24%
equals 400
To find out how many pictures the memory card can hold, we need to calculate the total percentage used by the 96 pictures.
If Melcher used 24% of the memory card to take 96 pictures, it means that each picture represents 24/96 = 0.25% of the memory card.
To calculate the total number of pictures the memory card can hold, we need to divide 100% by 0.25%:
100 / 0.25 = 400
Therefore, the memory card can hold 400 pictures.
To find out how many pictures the memory card can hold, we need to divide the total number of pictures that Melcher took at the family reunion by the percentage of memory card used.
Step 1: Calculate the percentage of memory card used
Melcher used 24% of the memory card, which means the remaining percentage of memory card available is 100% - 24% = 76%.
Step 2: Calculate the total number of pictures the memory card can hold
Let's assume the total number of pictures the memory card can hold is x.
The percentage of memory card remaining can be written as a fraction: 76/100.
So, the number of pictures the memory card can hold is given by the equation: (76/100) * x = 96.
Step 3: Solve for x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply: 76x = 9600.
Divide both sides of the equation by 76 to get: x = 126.3158.
Since the number of pictures must be a whole number, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the memory card can hold approximately 126 pictures.
