Question

Of a certain length of string 12.5% is 25cm.What is the total length?

Answer 1

Answer: 200 cm

Work Shown:

x = total length

12.5% of x = 0.125x = 25 cm

0.125x = 25

x = 25/(0.125)

x = 200 cm

This is equivalent to 2 meters. I'll keep the final answer in cm to keep the units consistent.
