Question

35,600 is 8.3% of what number

Answer 1

This question can be solved by:

`(8.3)/(100) = (35,600)/(x)`

Cross multiply to get: 8.3x = 3,560,000

To let the x stand along (since you are finding the x value), divide 8.3 to both sides of the equal sign.


`(8.3x)/(8.3) = (3560000)/(8.3)`

Simplify to get the answer.
