Answer: Hello there!
if 62 is the 112% of some number, this means that if the number is x; then the 100% of this number is x, and the 112% of this number is x + 0.12*x = 1.12*x
then this means that 62 = 1.12x
now we want to find the number x:
62 = 1.12x
x= 62/1.12 = 55.35714
now we need to round it to the nearest hundredth:
the hundredth place is the second number after the decimal point, in this case, is a 5, and we want to round it; if the next number is 5 or bigger, we round up, if it is less than 5, we round down.
We can see that the next number is a 7, so we should round up; then our number x is: 55.36
