Answer 2

10000      is      96.5 percent   of     what number? 

10000      =       96.5%            *       x

10000/x=100/96.5
(10000/x)*x=(100/96.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10000=1.0362694300518*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0362694300518) to get x
10000/1.0362694300518=x 
9650=x 
x=9650
