65% of a number is 1105...
0.65x = 1105
x = 1105 / 0.65
x = 1700...so that number is 1700

82% of 1700 =
0.82 * 1700 = 1394 <== ur answer

Answer: 1394


Explanation:

Let the number be x

Given: 65% of a number = 1,105


\Rightarrow0.65*\ x=1105\text{ [ Convert percent into decimal]}\\\Rightarrow\ x=(1105)/(0.65)\text{[ Divide 0.65 on both sides ]}\\\Rightarrow\ x=1700

Now , To find 82% of 1700, convert 82 % into decimal then multiply it to 1700 such that

82% of 1700=
0.82*1700=1394.

Therefore, If 65% of a number is 1,105 then 82% of 1700=1394
