The question is asking that X times 38% will equal to 247. So we set up the equation:


x * (38)/(100) = 247

Then, we multiply both sides by
(100)/(38)

and we get the answer is 650

To start, you want to put this into an equation:

.38*x=247

then solve for x by dividing 247 by .38
your answer will be 650
