Answer:
500 figures.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 185 figures is 37% of her entire collection.
Let c represent the total amount of figures.
Since 185 is 37% or 0.37 of her total collection, we can write the equation:
[tex]0.37c=185[/tex]
Remember that the keyword of tells us it's multiplication.
Therefore, to find the number of figures in her total collection, divide both sides by 0.37:
[tex]c=\frac{185}{0.37}[/tex]
Evaluate. Use a calculator. So:
[tex]c=500[/tex]
Sofia's total collection has 500 figures.
