Question

160 percent of 1,825 is? Rounded to nearest tenth: I got 2920 but that can't be the answer because it can't be bigger then the 1825 number

Answer 1

To get 160%, you just multiply by 1.6. 1825 x 1.6 = 2920.

Answer 2

I see that but the answer 2920 can't be bigger then 1825 so it can't be the 2920 answer. So there has to be another step I'm just not getting

Answer 3

It can be bigger than 1825. Only if it was less than 100% would it be smaller. 200% of 5 is 10.

Answer 4

100% of 5 is 5. Anything over 100% is bigger than 5.

Answer 5

this is rather confusing the answer's I am given on the homework is from these

1,140.63
1,140.62
1,104.63
1,014.62

This is why I am confused I can't figure out how to create this problem with only these as the following answers that I am given so it has to be one of them

Answer 6

Are you sure it's 160% of 1825?

Answer 7

Yes I am positive unless the homework assignment is missing some part that's exactly what it's showing me

Answer 8

I finally got the correct answer it's 1,140.62 because your taking 1825/1.6 = which is 1,140.62 thank you for the help though

Answer 9

Also wanted to add that after you get the 1,140.62 you can multiple it by 160% to get 1825. I hate math lol

Answer 10

1825/1.6 does not find 160% of 1825. That finds the number that 1825 is 160% of.

Answer 11

So 160% of 1,140.62 is 1825.

Answer 12

eh I hate math they don't want to make these questions simple at all
