mrnood · Answer

If you want help - then please respond.

You can start by writing 3/4 as a decimal

then to make that into a percentage you divide by 100

so

3/4 = ?   (as decimal - just type it into a calculator if you don't know)

then take that decimal and divide by 100

3/4 as a decimal is .75

mrnood · Answer

ok good

so divide that by 100 and write as a decimal

anonymous · Answer

0.0075

mrnood · Answer

Ok 

so 3/4% of something is the same a 0.0075 times something

if the answer to your question is the number x 

then
x times 0.0075 = 8.35

also written a 0.0075x = 8.35

can you solve what x is from that equation?
