• 97.5 is 159% of what number.

Answer:-

Let us suppose that there's a number " x " , whose 159% is 97.5 .

So we can create a equation as ,

159% of x = 97.5

Write 159% as fraction,

159x = 97.5 * 100

Divide both the sides by 159 ,

x = 97.5 * 100 / 159

Simplify,

x ≈ 61.32

Hence 97.5 is 159% of 61.32 .

and we are done!
