Answer 2

Let's assume

that number as x

we are given

48.5 is 7 percent of x

so, we can write it as

7 % of x =48.5

$\frac{7}{100} x=48.5$

now, we can solve for x

$100*\frac{7}{100} x=48.5*100$

$7 x=4850$

divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7} =\frac{4850}{7}$

$x=\frac{4850}{7}$

$x=692.857$

so, that number is 692.857.............Answer
