Question

1.
60 is 45% of what number?
PLEASE HELP ME I AM DUMB

Answer 1

let's say that number is "x", then "x" is the 100%.

if 60 is 45%, what is the 100%, namely "x"?

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 60&45 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{60}=\cfrac{100}{45}\implies \cfrac{x}{60}=\cfrac{20}{9}\implies 9x=1200 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1200}{9}\implies x = \cfrac{400}{3}\implies x = 133.\overline{3}`

Answer 2

Let's use the variable "D"

60 is 45% of D

Equation: Y = Percent × D

Solving our equation for D

D = Y ÷ percent

D = 60 ÷ 45%

45% ÷ 100 = 0.45

60 ÷ 0.45 = 133.3333
