Question 223117: We have a word problem that we can't figure out. I have the answer, but we don't know how to write the problem.
The vending machine technician discovered that 55% of the claustrophobic candy bars fell out of the machine for free. If 11 of the bars fell out of the machine for free, how many were in the machine in total?
Thanks in advance!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The vending machine technician discovered that 55% of the claustrophobic candy bars fell out of the machine for free. If 11 of the bars fell out of the machine for free, how many were in the machine in total?
---------------
t = total
11 = 55% of the total, = 0.55t
11 = 0.55t
t = 11/0.55
t = 20
------
claustrophobic candy?
