Question

98 is 0.7​% of what​ number? Use pencil and paper. Would you expect the answer to be a lot less than 98​, slightly less than 98​, slightly greater than 98​, or a lot greater than 98​? Explain.

Answer 1

x = 14000

Explanation:

98 is 0.7​% of x​ number.

According to the question,

`0.7\%\ of\ x=98\\\\x=(98)/(0.7\%)\\\\x=(98)/((0.7)/(100))\\\\=(98* 100)/(0.7)\\\\=14000`

So, 0.7% of 14000 is equal to 98. Hence, this is the required solution.
