these 15 colored pencils make up 20% of jordon's colored pencil collection. how many colored pencils does jordon have in his collections

75 coloured pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Jordon has x total pencils.

We know that 20% of these x pencils is 15, so we have:

20% * x = 15

Remember that % is just "out of 100", so 20% = 20/100 = 0.20. Then:

0.20x = 15

x = 15 / 0.20 = 75

Jordon has 75 coloured pencils.
