In a box of crayons 3 were broken. This represents 10% of the crayons in the box. How many total crayons are in the box?

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = the original number of crayons

3 are broken, which is 10 percent

c*10% = 3

Change to decimal form

c*.10 = 3

Divide each side by. 10

.10c/.10 = 3/.10

c = 30

There are 30 crayons in the box
