300 macrons were sold which represents 48% find the total

To find the total number of macarons sold when 300 macarons represent 48%, we can set up a proportion to solve for the total. Let's denote the total number of macarons as \( T \).

Given that 300 macarons is 48% of the total, we can write:

\[
300 = 0.48 \times T
\]

To solve for \( T \), divide both sides by 0.48:

\[
T = \frac{300}{0.48}
\]

Now, let's calculate this:

\[
T = \frac{300}{0.48} = 625
\]

So, the total number of macarons sold is **625**.
