Answer:
B. 123
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total number of the tents for sale at the outdoor store.
We are told that 27 of tents for sale at an outdoors store are green. This represents 18% of all the tents in the store.
To find the total number of tents, we need to figure out x such that 18% of x equals 27.
[tex]18\% \text{ of } x=27[/tex]
[tex]\frac{18}{100}x=27[/tex]
[tex]0.18x=27[/tex]
Upon dividing both sides of equation by 0.18 we will get,
[tex]\frac{0.18x}{0.18}=\frac{27}{0.18}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{27}{0.18}[/tex]
[tex]x=150[/tex]
Let us subtract the number of green tents from total number of tents to find the number of tents that are not green.
[tex]\text{The number of tents that are not green}=150-27[/tex]
[tex]\text{The number of tents that are not green}=123[/tex]
Therefore, 123 tents are not green and option B is the correct choice.
