Haley Chambers · Answer 1

28 number of Houses = 40% of the total houses the cleaning company needs to clean in a week.

Find the total number of houses do the cleaning company needs to clean in a week>

=> 28 number of houses / 40%

=> 28 / 0.4

=> 70

Thus, the total number of houses that a cleaning company needs to clean in the whole week is 70 houses.

Since they already cleaned 40% of it, which is 28, thus, they still need to clean 42 more.
