Answer:
We have, 15% × x = 85
or,
15
100
× x = 85
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,
we have x = 85 ×
x = 566.67
about 566.667 or to be exact: 1700/3
Step-by-step explanation:
85 is 15% of what number
We should translate this.
85 = 15% * (some number)
call that number x
85 = 15% *(x)
Solve for x
85 = 0.15 * x
x = 85/0.15 = 1700/3
x = 566.667
