Algebra.Com's Answer #373851 by Sudoku19(4)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you want to know the answer, here is the formula:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(Part) = W(Whole) x %(Percent)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since your missing the whole, divide both sides with percent to let W(Whole) alone.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(P / %) = ([W X %] / %)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then...\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P / % = W\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, to find the whole, get the whole by dividing the Part by the Percent. \n" ); document.write( "The solution would be:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "98 / 40% = W\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then...\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "98 / .04 = W\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer would be 2450.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 98 / .04 is equal to 9800 / 4. 9800 / 4 is just the simplified form of 98 / .04.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "98 / .04 = 980 / .4 = 9800/4 \n" ); document.write( " |
