Question 2188
First make the 7 2/5 a complex fraction, which is {{{37/5}}}.
Next, change the 37/5 to a decimal, which is 7.4.
Since you're looking for a percent multiply 7.4 by .01, and we get .074.
<br>
.074x = 74
<br>
Divide by .074 on both side & we get...
<br>
<b>x = 1000</b>
<br>
CHECK
.074(1000) = 74
