Answer 1

Explanation:

"Of" means "times"; "is" means "=". Write the English expression as a math expression and solve for "what".

14 = 38% × what

14/0.38 = what ≈ 36.84 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of "what"

14 is 38% of 36.84

92% × what = 110

what = 110/0.92 ≈ 119.57 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of "what"

92% of 119.57 is 110.
