Question

HOW DO YOU CALCULATE THE BASE OF THE GIVEN PROBLEM: THIRTY IS 82% OF WHAT NUMBER?

Answer 1

Let the number be y

`\begin{gathered} \text{ 82 \% of y =30} \\ 0.82\text{ of y = 30} \\ 0.82\text{ x y = 30} \\ y\text{ = }(30)/(0.82) \\ y\text{ = 36.58} \\ \end{gathered}`

The base i.e denominator of the number is 0.82
