if $245 is 7% how much is the total cost

Answer 1

To find the total cost when $245 is 7%, you can set up the equation:

\[ 0.07 \times \text{Total Cost} = 245 \]

To solve for the total cost, divide both sides by 0.07:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \frac{245}{0.07} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 3500 \]

Thus, the total cost is $3500.
