A shipment of 200 games is 20% video games, 50% board games, and 30% puzzles. How many board games are chess if 25% of the board games are chess?

Answer 1

#25# chess sets

You are actually trying to find #25% " of " 50% " of " 200#

Of the 200 games, board games make up 50%, and chess makes up 25% of those games.

Playing cards: 50/100 x 200 = 100 pieces

#25/100 xx 100 = 25# chess .

Alternatively, using a single calculation:

#cancel50/cancel100_cancel2 xx25/cancel100 xxcancel200^cancel2 =25#

#=25# chess sets

Total no. of chess games = 25#

200 games were shipped in total.

50 percent of board games

#:.# No. of board games #= (50/100)*200 = 100#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
