\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "83 = 0.125x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "83/0.125 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "664 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 664\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the unknown number is 664 and 83 is 12.5% of 664\r
