27%=27/100=0.27

'of' means multiply


not sure if you meant
76200 is 27% of what number or 76200 is 27% more than what number

if first one
76200=0.27 tmes ?
divide both sides by 0.27
282222.222222222=? the number is that

if you means 76200 is 27% more than another number
76200=127% of that number
76200=1.27 times ?
divide both sides by 1.27
60000=?
I think that was the question



the number is 60000

it would be 60,000 because to get 76,200 by multiplying 60,000 by 1.27 (100% plus 27% in decimal form) you could do the opposite and divide 76,200 by 1.27 and get ur answer for another problem like this one
