Translate and solve: 662% of what number is 3641?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of a number, we multiply the number by the decimal form of the percent. The decimal form of a percent can be found by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

Example: 45% = 0.45

In this case, we need to work backward. So, instead of multiplying, we will divide to undo the multiplication.

662% = 6.62

We need to divide 3641 by 6.62 to get the number that 3641 is 662% of. This number will be a smaller number since 662% of a number will be larger than the original number, This is because it is greater than 100%, which would be the number.

Example 100% of 6 is 6 since 6 x 1.00 is 6.

3641/6.62 = 550

However, we can also verify this by multiplying 550 by 6.62 to find 662% of 550.

6.62 x 550 = 3641

y=mx+b is the final answer!   : )
