140 ft is 97 percent of what

Answer 1

140 ft is 97% of 144.329897.

Answer 2

Greetings!

We can solve this by creating a simple equation:
$140=$(97%)$(x)$
Convert the percent into a fraction:
$140=\frac{97}{100} x$
Divide both sides by $\frac{97}{100}$.
$(140)/\frac{97}{100}=\frac{97}{100}x/\frac{97}{100}$
$\frac{140}{1}*\frac{100}{97}=x$
$\frac{14000}{97}=x$
The Answer Is:
$144.329897=x$
$x=144.329897$

140 is 97% of 144.329897.

Hope this helps.
