Brogan Michael · Answer 1

There is a number that if you multiply by 75%, you get 450.

So to find that number, divide 450 by 75%.

75% is the same as 0.75

450/0.75=600

it is 600.

Sidney Figueroa · Answer 2

We have, 75% * x = 450

or, 75100 * x = 450

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 75,

we have x = 450 * 10075

x = 600

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 450*100:75, which will give you the answer.
