What percent of 24 is 16.5?
n · 24 = 100 · 16.5
24n = 1,650
n = 68.75 68.75%
n · 24 = 16.5
n = 0.6875
n = 68.75%
Solve.

6-4 Solving Equations Containing Percents
A. 35 is 28% of what number?
35 = 28% · n
35 = 0.28 · n
350.28
= 0.28 · n0.28
125 = n
35 is 28% of 125.
Write an equation.
Write 28% as a decimal.
Divide each side by 0.28 to isolate the variable.
Solve.

A. 36 is 24% of what number?
36 = 24% · n
36 = 0.24 · n
150 = n
36 is 24% of 150.
Write an equation.
Write 24% as a decimal.
Divide each side by 0.24 to isolate the variable.
360.24
= 0.24 · n0.24
