Question

240 is 75% of what number?

Answer 1

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

$75 \% \times x = 240 \\ \frac{75x}{100} = 240$

Cross Multiply

$75x \times 1 = 100 \times 240 \\ 75x = 24000$

Divide both sides of the equation by 75

$\frac{75x}{75} = \frac{24000}{75}$

Simplify

$x = 320$

Answer 2

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

you would do $\frac{75}{100}$*x=240

then you would multiply both sides by 100 and then divide both sides by 75 which woud give you x=240*$\frac{100}{75}$

which would give you $\frac{24000}{75}$=x

which then simplifies down to 320
