Let x be the percent of p asked
then
m% of n = x% of p
m/100*n = x/100*p
mn = xp
x = mn/p
I'd use synthetic div. here, with 2 as my divisor:
________________
2 / 1 -11 18
2 -18
----------------------------
1 -9 0
Note that the coefficients of the missing factor are given here and are 1 and -9. Thus, (x-9) is the missing factor.
<span>LCD(<span>115</span>, <span>95</span>, <span>38</span>) = LCM(15, 5, 8) = 23×3×5 = 120</span>
<span><span>115</span> = <span>8120</span></span><span><span>95</span> = <span>216120</span></span><span><span>38</span> = <span>45120
</span></span>
