Question

84 is 75% of what number? ​

Answer 1

should be 112 :)

Explanation:

84 = 75%

so 25% = 84÷3=28

28=25%

25% + 75% = 100% (the whole)

so 28+84=112.

You can use the inverse to work this out also :)

If 112 = 100%

56=50%

28=25%

Add the 50% to the 25% to get the 75%, which gives us 84 :)

Answer 2

Let x be the number required,

x * 75% = 84

x = (100*84) /75

x = 112.

Therefore 84 is the 75% of 112.
