Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the number of steaks Nina's sold that night we can apply a rule of three, in a way that 34% is related to 84 steaks in the same proportion as 100% is related to "x" steaks. We have:

100% - > x steaks

34% - > 84 steaks

100/34 = x/84

x = 100*84/34

x = 247.0588 steaks
