Sagot :


p - 0.27p = $ 219

0.73p = $ 219

p = $ 219 / 0.73

p = $ 300. i don't know if this is fully right tho

Answer: 409.23

Step-by-step explanation:  Step 1: If 65% of a number is 266, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

266

65% = Y

100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

65Y = 266 x 100

65Y = 26600

Y = 26600

100 = 409.23
