Question

If you copy a page on a machine at 72%, you should get a similar copy of the page. What is the corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy?
The corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy is what%. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer, proper fraction, or mixed number.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$138\frac{8}{9}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the corresponding setting to obtain the original from the copy, divide 100% by 72%

so

$\frac{100}{72}$

Simplify

$\frac{100}{72}=\frac{25}{18}$

Convert to percentage

$\frac{25}{18}(100)=\frac{2,500}{18}\%$

Simplify

$\frac{2,500}{18}\%=\frac{1,250}{9}\%$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{1,250}{9}\%=\frac{1,242}{9}+\frac{8}{9}=138\frac{8}{9}\%$
