Question

If 65% of a number is 1105 what is 82% of the number

Answer 1

Answer:

1394

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equation to find the number:

Variable n = number

65/100 = 1105/n

Cross multiply:

65 × n = 100 × 1105

65n = 110,500

n = 1700

Check your work:

1700 × 65%

Convert percentage into decimal:

1700 × 0.65

1105

Correct!

Find 82% of 1700:

Variable x = 82% of 1700

82/100 = x/1700

82 × 1700 = 100 × x

139,400 = 100x

1394 = x

Check your work:

1700 × 82%

1700 × 0.82

1394

Correct!
