Answer 2

Let's assume

that number as x

we are given

48.5 is 7 percent of x

so, we can write it as

7 % of x =48.5

`(7)/(100) x=48.5`

now, we can solve for x

`100*(7)/(100) x=48.5*100`

`7 x=4850`

divide both sides by 7

`(7x)/(7) =(4850)/(7)`

`x=(4850)/(7)`

`x=692.857`

so, that number is 692.857.............Answer
