Question

240,000 is 90% of what number

Answer 1

Let, the number = x
It would be: x * 90% = 240,000
x * 0.90 = 240,000
x = 240,000 / 0.90
x = 266666 . 67

In short, Your Answer would be 266666.67

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

let the number be x then
90/100 × x = 240,000
or 0.9 x = 240,000
x = 240000/ 0.9
x = 266,666.66
