85 is 40% of what number? 212.5 47.1 34 45

Thanks.

you could do the actual work and find the answer that way. "40%" corresponds to decimal fraction 0.40. Then 0.40 * (some number) = 85. How would you find the number? Hint: solve 0.4 x = 85.

@AloneS : Sorry to have to tell you this, but your undrstanding of this problen needs work. The answer is NOT 34.
