A light shop sells lights, they sold 25 percent of the lights and still had 1500 lights left. How many Lights were there In the beginning?

Explanation

If they sold 25% of the lights, they have 75% of the lights left. We are given that 75% of the lights is 1500:

$$0.75x=1500$$

Solve for $x$:

x=1500/0.75

​=2000

So, the total number of lights initially was 2000.
