Question

Thirty percent of what number is 275

Answer 1

Answer:

275 is 30% of 916.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 30% × x = 275

or $\frac{30}{100} x x = 275$

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 30,

we have x = 275 ×$\frac{100}{30}$

x = 916.67

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 275×100÷30, which will give you the answer.

Answer 2
