Question

55% of what number is 330? pls help meee

Answer 1

600

Explanation:

Here is the formula/format:

Part %

------ = --------

Whole 100

We are trying to find the "whole" in this case, so I did:

330 55

------- = ------- (this says that 55% of the number we are looking for is 330)

x 100

Then, I cross multiplied and got: 55x= 33,000

From there, I divided 33,000 by 55 (inverse operations) to get x = 600.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

600

Explanation:

Assume x=target number

55%(x)=300

55%=0.55

0.55x=300

x=300/0.55

x=600
