@BlankSpace

BlankSpace:

So firstly look at the start of the question.

BlankSpace:

"15%" of balls

EndersWorld:

Correct.

EndersWorld:

What do that I do with the initial 15%?

BlankSpace:

Multiply it with the other 15%

EndersWorld:

EndersWorld:

So 225 balls?

BlankSpace:

When they are multiplied (.15 x .15 = .0225), it's the only choice that gives a whole number answer.

BlankSpace:

So 400 is the only one that gives that whole number

BlankSpace:

That being lol

EndersWorld:

So 400 balls?

BlankSpace:

Yes, 400 balls

EndersWorld:

That’s too many damn baseballs.

EndersWorld:
