Question

55% of what number is 330? pls help meee

Answer 1

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume x=target number

55%(x)=300

55%=0.55

0.55x=300

x=300/0.55

x=600

Answer 2

Answer

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the formula/format:

Part             %

------     =    --------

Whole         100

We are trying to find the "whole" in this case, so I did:

330            55

-------   =   -------  (this says that 55% of the number we are looking for is 330)

x                100

Then, I cross multiplied and got: 55x= 33,000

From there, I divided 33,000 by 55 (inverse operations) to get x = 600.

I hope this helps! :)
