*[tex \LARGE A] is *[tex \LARGE P] percent of what number?


Let *[tex \LARGE x] be the number you are trying to find.  Take *[tex \LARGE P] and move the decimal point two places to the left and then drop the % sign -- call this decimal representation of the percentage *[tex \LARGE p].


Then


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ A\ =\ px]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ =\ \frac{A}{p}]


Plug in your numbers and do the arithmetic.
