Question

85% of 540 = 30% of C

Answer 1

Answer:

C = 1530

Step-by-step explanation:

85% of 540 = 30% of C

0.85 * 540 = 0.3 * C

459/0.3 = 0.3C/0.3

C = 1530

Answer 2

Answer:

c = 1530

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the percentages to a decimal.

$85\div100=0.85\\30\div100=0.30$

In decimal form, percentages are a fraction of 1. 0 is 0%, 0.5 is 50%, and 1 is 100%.

With that, you can write this equation:

$0.85\times540=0.3\times c$

Now, just solve for c:

$0.3c=0.85\times540\\0.3c=459\\c=1530$

To confirm that:

$0.85\times540=0.30*1530\\459=459$
