## ktlyn9 2 years ago 86 is 45% of what number? (1 point)

1. math_proof

86=.45x, solve for x

2. JayDS

$86 \times \frac{45}{100} = ?$ the question mark will be ur answer.

3. math_proof

JayDS you are wrong

4. JayDS

@math_proof you are wrong, have u even tried ur method?

5. ktlyn9

Ok who's is wrong and who's is right???

6. JayDS

using ur method u will get the answer to be 191.11111 which is impossible and 100% wrong.

7. JayDS

trust me @ktlyn9 I am right.

8. JayDS

I can guarantee it, you can even ask others to come and check if you do not believe.

9. ktlyn9

Ok..I see what u mean. Thanks.

10. math_proof

191.11111 then when you multiply it by .45 = 86:p

11. math_proof

JayDS why would you multiply 86 x .45? lol it doesn't make any sense

12. math_proof

86 is bla bla bla means 86= to something (is always means equal) and even reading further it says 45% of what number which means .45 * some number

13. JayDS

ok, I cannot explain your "Wrong method" to you but lets think logically 45% of something? we want 45% of 86 and 50% would be just half of it so 43, do u get this? so say u are correct, we use ur method then and we get the number to be 191.111 how the hell is that possible?

14. JayDS

191.111 = more than 200% of 86.

15. math_proof

i know the answer is stupid but thats the correct answer :)

16. math_proof

JayDS uuu are sooo wrong:p

17. math_proof

18. JayDS

@math_proof u have been wrong many times before and you clearly have no logic behind ur answer, anyone would laugh if u told them ur answer to this question.

19. ktlyn9

whatever @math_proof said isnt even a choice....

20. math_proof

what are the choices?

21. math_proof

JayDS google it, and don't says something you don't know about me

22. math_proof

@ktlyn9 what are the choices?

23. ktlyn9

86 = 0.45n n = 0.45 × 86 0.45 = n × 86 86 = 45n @math_proof

24. math_proof

@ktlyn9 why did you say there is no answer like mine? as there is one like mine

25. ktlyn9

What one is it? you said like 1119 or something!

26. ktlyn9

Oh....I see it...oops. my fault xD
