yes

Answer 4

Here is a little tip...in math word problems, " is " means equal and " of " means multiply. So write the problem like you read it....
69 is 79% of what .....69 = 79% x A (or any variable you choose)

Answer 5

$$69=\frac{79}{100}*x$$

Answer 6

I would write it like this....69 = .79x and then just solve for x
