jdoe0001 · Answer

$\begin{array}{llll}
quantity&percentage\
\hline\
162&100\
x&49
\end{array}\bf \implies \cfrac{162}{x}=\cfrac{100}{49}$

arthur_ser · Answer

49  --> 100      
 x   --> 162

$$\frac{ 49 }{ x }=\frac{ 100 }{ 162 }$$ 
--> 100x=49*162

solve for x

multiply 162 by .49 and you get 79.38

bibby · Answer

49% of a number shouldn't be bigger than that number. IT seems you forgot the decimal.

Does anyone know why it says estimate if you are just gonna get the actual number?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah so just go like what @jdoe0001 said but just fill in x with 78.38

anonymous · Answer
