Question

75 is 1% of_______? Find the Whole

Answer 1

7,500

Explanation:

1% of 7,500 is 75

Formula : (Number x 100)/Percent Number = (75x100)/1 = 7,500/1 = 7,500

Answer 2

7500

Explanation:

Let's call that 'whole' a variable 'x'.

Since 75 is 1% of the whole, we can write this out with numbers and symbols, remembering that 1% of a number is 0.01 times that number

75 = 0.01*x

From there, you can divide both side of the equals sign by 0.01 to find x.

75=0.01x

7500 =x
