Question

Nine is 4 percent of what number

Answer 1

225

Explanation:

We can model this question with:

9 = 0.04x

x represents "what number."

0.04x = 9.

Divide 0.04 from both sides

0.04x ÷ 0.04 = 9 ÷ 0.04

9 ÷ 0.04 = 225.

Therefore, 9 is 4% of 225.

Answer 2

225

Explanation:

Is means equals and of means multiply

9 = 4% * W

Change to decimal form

9 = .04 * W

Divide each side by .04

9/.04 = .04W/.04

225 = W
