Uncle Percy sold t-shirts at the show. Now he only has 10% of the t/shirts now, how many did he start with?

Answer: He started with 250 t-shirts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of shirts he start with be 'x'.
He has only 10% of the t-shirts.
Number of t-shirts he has now = 25
According to question, it becomes,
[tex]\frac{10}{100}\times x=25\\\\0.1\times x=25\\\\x=\frac{25}{0.1}\\\\x=250[/tex]
Hence, he started with 250 t-shirts.
Thus, Second option is correct.
