If 3000 is 49%, what number is the remaining 51%? AND what does the equation look like, so that I can use other numbers in the future?
:
let x = the original number
.49x = 3000
x = 3000/.49
x = 6122.45 is the total amt
You can just subtract 3000 from this number to find what remains
or
find 51%
.51 * 6122.45 = 3122.45 is 51%
