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!
