Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to make a proportion for this problem.

Rules:

First, %’s can be put over 100.

Second, put the first number, over x.

Third, line up the fractions, then put a equals sign in the middle of each fraction.

Multiply numbers in diagonals and divide the one with the missing term.

Then x = that number. :)

Everything is on the Picture!

x = 727.
