Answer 2

If 17% of a number is 43, the number has to be bigger than 43. We can find the equation with x being the number.
43/x=.17
Remember, you multiply by 100 after you calculate, that’s the reason for the .17.
We need to multiply x by .17 to get 43. So, you would divide 43 by .17.
43/.17
252.941176
252.941176*.17
=43
So, the number is 252.941176.
