78 is 92% of what?

Answer 1

Approximately #84.78#

#92%# can be expressed by the decimal number #.92#. The word "of" in the question means you are multiplying, so the question is really asking, #.92# times what number equals 78? To solve this algebraically, we will use the variable #x# to represent the unknown number:

#.92 * x = 78 | .92x = 78#

To solve for #x#, all we need to do is divide each side by the coefficient of #x#, or the number by which the variable is multiplied, to get the variable by itself:

#(.92x)/.92 = 78/.92 | x = 84.7826...#

Note that I rounded the answer to 2 decimal places. Normally, you should follow any specific rounding instructions given on the test, but if none are given, it is generally acceptable to round to the hundredths digit.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
