At a deli, 56 sandwiches were sold during lunchtime. Twenty-five percent of the sandwiches sold were tuna salad. How many of the sandwiches were not tuna salad?

Answer :

absor201

42 sandwiches were not tuna salad.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of sandwiches sold = 56

Tuna salad sandwiches = 25%

No. of tuna salads = 25% of total sold

[tex]No.\ of\ tuna\ salads=\frac{25}{100}*56\\\\No.\ of\ tuna\ salads=\frac{1400}{100}\\\\No.\ of\ tuna\ salads=14[/tex]

14 sandwiches were tuna salads, the remaining will not be, therefore;

Remaining sandwiches = Total sold - No. of tuna salads

Remaining sandwiches = 56 - 14 = 42

42 sandwiches were not tuna salad.
