Question

85 percent of what is 64.6?

Answer 1

76

We make the assumption that 85 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 85

Answer 2

54.91

Explanation:

64.6/x=100/85

(64.6/x)*x=(100/85)*x

64.6=1.17*x (divide both sides of the equation by 1.17 to get x)

54.91=x

x=54.91

now we have 85% of 64.6= 54.91
