I do believe that the answer is 900. Steps: I first set up a proportion, with 8/100 and 72/x (x being the number we are trying to find) As I was taught, you multiply 100 by 72, which equals 7,200. Then, I divided 7,200 by 8, which gave me 900. This is what the proportion process should have looked like: 8/100 72/x 7,200/8 x=900 I hope this helps!
