Answer 1

900

Explanation:

You are given the proportion

`x:81=27:2.43`

Rewrite it in fraction form:

`(x)/(81)=(27)/(2.43)`

Cross multiply:

`2.43\cdot x=81\cdot 27`

Divide by 2.43:

`x=(81\cdot 27)/(2.43)\\ \\x=(81\cdot 27)/(9\cdot 0.27)\\ \\x=(9\cdot 27)/(0.27)\\ \\x=(9\cdot 2,700)/(27)\\ \\x=(9\cdot 100)/(1)\\ \\x=900`
