97.3 is 7% of what number
97.3/X = .07
Therefore, X = 97.3/.07 = ??
I have always learned that the word 'of' is another way of saying 'times'. So you can set up the problem as:
97.3=.07*x
To find out what number 97.3 is 7% of, you can set up a proportion.
Let's call the number you're trying to find "x".
The proportion can be set up as:
97.3 / x = 7 / 100
To solve for "x", you can cross-multiply and then divide:
97.3 * 100 = 7 * x
9700 = 7x
Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
9700 / 7 = x
x ≈ 1385.71
So, 97.3 is approximately 7% of 1385.71.
