Question

25 is 29% of what number

Answer 1

x = 86.2 and some infinite number after dot in decimal

Explanation:

first we need to do the formula of percentage:

`(29x)/(100)=25`

`(100)/(29) * (29x)/(100)= (100)/(29) * 25`

the 100 in the fractions get cancled:

`(1)/(29) * 29x = (100)/(29) * 25`

and all this by dividing in fraction become:

`x = (100)/(29) * 25 => x = (2500)/(29)`

now we can get the percentage and make sure that we don't do anything wrong:

`86.2068966 * 0.29=25`

and yes the solution is right
