d. 75 is 75% of what number?

Answer 1

75 is 75% of what number?
Answer: 100

Answer 2

75 is 75% of 100

Explanation:

Simple explanation: Basically 75% is equal to 3/4 so if we find out how much 1/4 of the whole number is we can multiply it by 4 to get the whole number. Since 75 is 3/4 of the whole number we divide it by 3 which gives us 25 so 25 is 1/4 of the whole number. Afterwards we multiply it by 4 to get the whole number since 4/4 is 1 which is a whole.
