Question

32% of what number is 112

Answer 1

This problem can be represented by turning 32% into a decimal and rewriting it like this: .32x = 112, where x is the unknown number. Dividing both sides of the equation by .32 gives you x = 350, so 32% of 350 is 112

Answer 2

Answer: 350

Explanation:

First, 32% divided by 100 becomes a decimal.

32% / 100 = 0.32

Next, let x be equal to a number.

Then, "of" indicates multiplication and "is" indicates equals.

0.32x = 112

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation by 0.32.

x = 350
