Answer 1

85% of 200 = 170

Step-by-step explanation:

Method

Let the number = x

60/100 * x = 120

0.6 x = 120 Divide by 0.6

0.6x/0.6 = 120/0.6

x = 200

25% x = 50 Convert 25% to a fraction

25/100 x = 50

0.25x = 50 Divide by 0.25

0.25x/0.25 = 50/0.25

x = 200

85% 200 = x Change 85% to a fraction

85/100 * 200 = x Multiply 85 and 200 together

17000 /100 = x Divide by 100

170 = x

Answer

85% of 200 = 170
