Answer:
The number is 3,552
15⅝% of 3,552 is 555
Step-by-step explanation:
15⅝% of a number is 555.
To determine what number it is, let the number be x.
Thus,
15⅝%*x = 555
[tex] \frac{125}{8}*\frac{1}{100}*x = 555 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{125}{800}*x = 555 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{125*x}{800} = 555 [/tex]
Multiply both sides by 800
[tex] \frac{125*x}{800}*800 = 555*800 [/tex]
[tex] 125*x = 444,000 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 125
[tex] \frac{125*x}{125} = \frac{444,000}{125} [/tex]
[tex] x = 3,552 [/tex]
The number = 3,552
15⅝% of 3,552 is 555
