Answer 1

1723.9 mb

Explanation:

Essentially, the question is asking "281 is 16.3% of what number.

Thus, we can find the percentage of a number using the formula

`Px=y`, where P is the percentage. In context of the question, x is how many megabytes have already downloaded and y is 281.

We simply need to solve for x and round to the nearest:

`(16.3)/(100)x=281\\ \\0.163x=281\\x=1723.92638=1723.9`
