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
