Question

If you copy a page on a machine at 72%, you should get a similar copy of the page. What is the corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy?

The corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy is what%. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer, proper fraction, or mixed number.)

Answer 1

`138(8)/(9)\%`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy, divide 100% by 72%

so

`(100)/(72)`

Simplify

`(100)/(72)=(25)/(18)`

Convert to percentage

`(25)/(18)(100)=(2,500)/(18)\%`

Simplify

`(2,500)/(18)\%=(1,250)/(9)\%`

Convert to mixed number

`(1,250)/(9)\%=(1,242)/(9)+(8)/(9)=138(8)/(9)\%`
