Harding and Jack found that 8 percent of their number was 72. What was their number? Answer by TutorDelphia(193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's simplify the word problem: 8% of a number is 72
If we say n is our number we can say that
8%*n=72
divide both sides by 8%
n=72/8%
On your calc enter 72/.08
And the number is 900.
