If 52% = 149,788. what does 55% =
Rewrite 52% as 0.52 and 55% as 0.55.
Set up a proportion.
0.52/0.55 = (149,788)/x
Cross-multiply to solve for x.
0.55 times 149,788 = 0.52 times x
82383.4 = 0.52x
Divide both sides by 0.52 to find x.
(82383.4)/0.52 = x
158,429.6153846154 = x
We can round the decimal number on the right to the nearest unit.
x = 158,430 should be the right answer.
