Answer:
Total number of painters = 25 painters
Step-by-step explanation:
Interior painting = 10 painters
These painters made up 40% of the painting crew
how many painters in all worked on this job?
Let
Total number of painters = x
Interior painters = 40% of x
10 = 40% * x
10 = 0.4 * x
10 = 0.4x
x = 10/0.4
x = 25 painters
Total number of painters = x = 25 painters
