This is Ratio math. In an office building, 66 offices are currently being rented. This represents 60% of the total units. How many offices are there in the building?There are ... offices in the building.

Answer 1

Let total number of units = x

As per the given data, 60% units constitutes 66 offices.

Hence,

$0.6x=66$

Solving further for x we have,

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{66}{0.6} \\ =\frac{660}{6} \\ =110 \end{gathered}$

Thus, there are total number of 110 offices in a building.
