Question

70% of what number is 224?

Answer 1

70%x=224
solve for x

Answer 2

to make it easier here a tip
replace of with multiplication
what number meaning the number you looking for
name it some letter
"is" replace it with equal sign
and then solve for the letter whatever it is you choose

Answer 3

remember 70% is written 70/100

Answer 4

This should be very easy. Multiplying a number by 1 means getting its 100 percent.
Multiplying a number by 2 means getting its 200 percent. Also, by multiplying a number 1.5 means getting its 150 percent. Therefore, by multiplying that number with 0.70 means getting its 70 percent. I hope you got it :)

Answer 5

here we are not multiplying we are dividing since we are looking for that number^_^

Answer 6

^ you talkin to me?

Answer 7

yes!

Answer 8

70/100 = 0.7 (and that's the simplified form)
Hence, dividing has already been done. And its much easier since our denominator is 10. Therefore, by multiplying that number by 0.70 which is also the same as 70/100 will get the value.

Anyway, there's no difference with the final answers.
