Volunteers for a political campaign gave out 21/38 of their fliers. They gave out the remaining 612 fliers in another neighborhood. What is the total number of fliers they gave out

The total number of fliers the volunteers gave out is 1,368: 756 in the first neighborhood and 612 in the second.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of fliers the volunteers gave for a political campaign = 21/38

Remaining 612 were given out in another neighborhood

2. What is the total number of fliers they gave out?

x = Total of fliers

21x/38 = Fliers given out in the first neighborhood

612 = Fliers given out in the second neighborhood

Let's solve for x, this way:

x - 21x/38 = 612

38x - 21x = 612 * 38 (38 is the Lowest Common Denominator)

17x = 23,256

x = 23,256/17

x = 1,368

The total number of fliers the volunteers gave out is 1,368: 756 in the first neighborhood and 612 in the second.
