In mathematics, 'is' would be the equal sign. And 'of' would be the multiplcation sign. The missing number would be any variable.

56 is 28% of a number would be translated algebraically to:

\(56 = \frac{28}{100} \times x\)

Solving for x, we get:

\(56 = \frac{28}{100} \times x\)

Divide 28 on both sides

\(2 = \frac{x}{100}\)

Multiply 100 on both sides

\(x = 200\)

56 is 28% of 200
