56 is 74 percent of what number?

Answer 1

75.67567568, because 56 divided by 0.74 is equal to this.

This is also 75 and 25/37ths.

You can do it as a proportion:

56 is to x, as 74 is to 100. 56/x = 74/100.

thus 56/x = 0.74

divide and 1/x = 0.74/56

raise both sides to the -1st power and that gives

x=56/0.74 , which gives 75 and 25/37ths.
