Question

A file that is 278 megabytes is being downloaded. If the download is 14.3% complete, how many megabytes have been downloaded? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

So the reciprocal of 14.3% = 100/14.3 = 1000/143, and then you can do 1000/143 * 278, which would equal 1944.05594406 (Cool and hard muiltiplication that took me like 2 minutes). To make it to the nearest tenth, it would be 1944.1
