Question

III

Andrea wants to find the number that is 136% of 85. If n represents the unknown number,
which proportion can Andrea use to find n?

Answer 1

`n = 136\% \: of \: 85 \\ n = (136)/(100) * 85 \\ n = 1.36 * 85 \\ \boxed{n = 115.6}`

• Therefore, the unknown number "n" is 115.6
• Andrea can use the proportion :---
• n/85=136/100

Answer 2

• n = 115.6

Explanation:

• Number = 85
• 136% of the number = n

The proportion would be:

• 136%/100% = n/85
• n = 85*1.36
• n = 115.6
