17% of a number is 153. What is 1% of the number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of a number... Which number?? Let us assume that number is \(x\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So : 17% of a number will be : \[\frac{17}{100} \times x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17% is written as : \[17 \% = \frac{17}{100}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"of" means multiplication ie \(\times\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and number we have let as : \(x\) : So, whole expression, 17% of number will be : \[\frac{17}{100} \times x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your question says : `17% of a number is 153 ` I am decoding it word by word.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As I said : `17%` means : \[\frac{17}{100}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppose you are given : `15% of a number`, then `15%` is written as: \[\frac{15}{100}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, if you are getting that reply with : yes or yep or yup or something you feel good and if you are not getting it, then reply with : No, you are bad, you don't how to teach, or anything with which you can deny. :P
