Question

85% of what number
is 10.2?

Answer 1

To find out what number 10.2 is 85% of, you can use the equation:

\[
0.85 \times x = 10.2
\]

Where \( x \) is the number you are trying to find. To solve for \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.85:

\[
x = \frac{10.2}{0.85}
\]

Now, calculate \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{10.2}{0.85} \approx 12
\]

So, 10.2 is 85% of approximately **12**.
