Question 619967: batman forever grossed $52.8 million on its opening weekend and had one of the most succesful movie launches in history. if batman forever accounted approximately 53% of all box office receipts that weekend, what were the total box office receipts

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We know from this that the $52.8 million represents 53%.
So find how much represents 1% by dividing the amount by 53:
52800000/53 = 996226.42
So to find the total box office amount we need to find the value for 100%
If 1% is the number above then 100% is that value multiplied by 100:
996226.42 x 100 = 99622641
you should write this is the same format as the question so:
99.6 million
