Solve the problem. Round to the nearest unit.
161 is 48% of what?
A. 33,500
B. 3350
C. 335
D. 3
0.48x = 161
Solve for x. Which of your choices is the same as what you find for x?
To find the number that 161 is 48% of, we need to set up an equation.
Let x be the number we are trying to find.
48% of x can be written as 0.48x.
So we have the equation:
0.48x = 161
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.48:
x = 161 / 0.48
Now we calculate the value of x:
x ≈ 335.41667
Rounding to the nearest unit, x is approximately 335.
Therefore, the answer is option C: 335.
To solve this problem, we need to find a number that is 48% of.
Let's assume that the unknown number is x. We have the equation:
161 = 0.48x (since 48% is equal to 0.48 in decimal form)
To find x, we can solve the equation by dividing both sides by 0.48:
161 / 0.48 = x
x ≈ 335.4167
Since we need to round to the nearest unit, the number is approximately 335.
Therefore, the answer is option C. 335.
