Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
78 is 65% of what number.
Let's break down this expression.
In this case "is" means "equals" so we will use the equal sign (=)
65% can be written as 0.65 or 65/100
"of" indicates multiplication
"what number" will be represented by x.
Now, put this all together.
78 = 0.65 • x
To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.65
120 = x
This is your answer.
Check this by finding 65% of 120.
0.65 • 120 = 78
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!
