Question 724333: If 10% of an amount is A, what is the amount in terms of A?

Let x = total amount

10% of the total amount = A

0.10x = A

x = A/0.10

x = 10A

So the amount is 10A, which means that there are 10 times the total amount compared to A. This makes sense because A is 10% of the total amount.
