Question

Taylor has saved $99 for a tablet. That is 45% of the cost of the tablet. How much does the tablet cost?

Answer 1

$220 is the cost of the tablet

Explanation:

99 divided by .45= 220

Answer 2

$220

Explanation:

Make a proportion

We know that 99 over some number (x) must equal 45%

99/x=45/100

Cross multiply

45x=9,900

Divide by 45 on both sides

x=220

So, the tablet costs $220

Hope this helps! :)
