Question

85,000 is 70% of what Number?

Answer 1

Lets say x is what we want to find. Since 85000 is 70% of X we can reverse this to find X itself.
X * 0.7 = 85000 our initial
X = 85000/0.7
X = 121428

Answer 2

We simply need to divide 85000 by 0.7.
Once we do that we find out that 85,000 is 70% of the number 121428.57 which rounded up equals 121429. Hope that helps! :)
