Question 180523
the weight of the elephant was 1040 percent of the weight of the bear. If the elephant weighed 20,800 pounds, what did the bear weigh? 
----------------
Let the bear weight "x" lbs.
-----------------------------
Equation:
elephant weighs (1040/100)x

20,800 = (1040/100)x

x = (100/1040)*20,800

x = 2000 lbs. (weight of the bear)
