Two types of sandwiches were made for a tea party. 55% of the sandwiches were cheese sandwiches and the rest were chicken sandwiches. if there were 252 chicken sandwiches, how many sandwiches were made altogether?

To solve this problem, the formula can be used

I = P / T

Where I is the fraction of the sample

P is the amount of the sample

T is the total amount of sample

Since P = 252 chicken sandwiches and I = 0.55

And solve for T

T = 252 / 0.52

T = 458 sandwiches in total
