Question

Find the whole. 500% of what number is 3,650

Answer 1

To find 500% of a number, you have to multiply that number by 500 and then divide by 100. Calling x to the unknown number, the situation is:

`x\cdot(500)/(100)=3650`

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} x\cdot5=3650 \\ x=(3650)/(5) \\ x=730 \end{gathered}`

500% of 730 is 3650
