Lets solve this question together,
Convert 76.8% to a decimal.
\(0.768 * x=40.32\)
Multiply 0.768 by x to get 0.768x.
\(0.768x=40.32\)
Multiply each term by 1 / 0.768 and simplify.
Cancel the common factor of 0.768.
\(x=40.32 / 0.768\)
Divide 40.32 by 0.768 to get 52.5
\(x=52.5\)
To answer this question, let x be the unknown number. From the given, the product of the number, x, and the decimal equivalent of the given percentage, 76.8%, is equal to 40.32. Mathematically,
(0.768)(x) = 40.32
The value of x from the equation is 52.5.
