Question

7.5% of what number is equal to 85% of 200?

Answer 1

Solving:

$\frac{7.5}{100} *x = \frac{85}{100} * 200$

$\frac{7.5x}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!100} = \frac{17000}{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!100}$
$7.5x = 17000$
$x = \frac{17000}{7.5}$
$x = 2266.6666... \:\to \boxed{\boxed{x \approx 2266.67}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer 2

Answer:

7.5% of 2266.67 is equal to 85% of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we make an equation from the given question.

7.5% of what number is equal to 85% of 200

Let that number would be x, now find the value of x

$\frac{7.5}{100} x=\frac{85}{100}$ × 200

0.075x = 0.85 × 200

0.075x = 170

x = $\frac{170}{0.075}$

x = 2266.66666 rounded to 2266.67

7.5% of 2266.67 is equal to 85% of 200.
