Answer:

about  566.667  or to be exact:   1700/3

Step-by-step explanation:

85 is 15% of what number

We should translate this.

85 = 15% * (some number)

call that number x

85 = 15% *(x)

Solve for x

85 = 0.15 * x

x = 85/0.15 =  1700/3

x = 566.667

Answer:

We have, 15% × x = 85

or,  

15

100

× x = 85

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,

we have x = 85 ×  

100

15

x = 566.67

Helen [10]
\frac{3}{5} × 4 \frac{1}{6}

First, convert 4\frac{1}{6} to an improper fraction. Use this rule: a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac+b}{c} / Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{5} × \frac{4x6+1}{6}
Second, simplify 4 × 6 to 24. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{5} × \frac{24+1}{6} 
Third, simplify 24 + 1 to 25. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{5} × \frac{25}{6}
Fourth, apply this rule: \frac{a}{b} × \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd} / Your problem should look like: \frac{3x25}{5x6}
Fifth, simplify 3 × 25 to 75. / Your problem should look like: \frac{75}{5x6}
Sixth, simplify 5 × 6 to 30. / Your problem should look like: \frac{75}{30}
Seventh, simplify. / Your problem should look like: \frac{5}{2}
Eighth, convert to mixed fraction. / Your problem should look like: 2\frac{1}{2}
