@ Dobby1
Find the base in the following problem. (Round answer to 3 decimal places.)

100 is 19% of what number?

Answer 1

Not sure how this is a rate problem but:

142x=317
x=317/142
x=2.232
which is 223.2%

Answer 2

Answer 3

thanks!

Answer 4

x(.19)=100
x=100/.19
x=526.316

Answer 5

Find themissing element in the following base-rate-percentage problem. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

43 is 120% of what number?

Answer 6

Always put it in the format of XA=Y and fill in what you know and solve for the unknown
X is your initial value, A is the ratio (which can be converted to percent by multiplying *100) and Y is the resultant

If you already have the percentage, convert it back into a ratio (i.e. 120% is 1.2)

For your problem 43 would be the resultant (Y) and 1.2 will be the ratio (A), could you set up the problem and solve it?
