Blessings has cherries

she eats 1/4 of them

she has 18 cherries left

how many did she have at the beginning

24 cherries

Step-by-step explanation:

18 is 75% of the original amount, meaning 25% will be 6 cherries.

So, 18 + 6 = 24, the original amount

24 cherries

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has 18 now, and ate 1/4, its easiest to think of 18 as the other 3/4. When divided by 3, we get 6. If 18 is three sets of 6, you just add the fourth one to it to find the original amount. The answer is 24.
