Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be x
[tex]75 \% \times x = 240 \\ \frac{75x}{100} = 240[/tex]
Cross Multiply
[tex]75x \times 1 = 100 \times 240 \\ 75x = 24000[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 75
[tex] \frac{75x}{75} = \frac{24000}{75} [/tex]
Simplify
[tex]x = 320[/tex]
Answer:
320
Step-by-step explanation:
you would do [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex]*x=240
then you would multiply both sides by 100 and then divide both sides by 75 which woud give you x=240*[tex]\frac{100}{75}[/tex]
which would give you [tex]\frac{24000}{75}[/tex]=x
which then simplifies down to 320
