150 (42/0.28) To answer a problem such as this use the formula:
a % #/100 = is/of (a % # over '100' b/c the most you can have is 100%)
[equation reads, "a percentage number over 100 equals 'is' over 'of'"]
So in your case it would be:
1) 28/100 = 42/x (then you cross multiply which gives you):
[you have the 'is' as your original question states "is 42." You are trying to find the 'of']
2) 28x = 4200 (then divide 4200 by 28 to solve for x)
x=150
Then to check your answer, plug 150 into the x in the original equation and make sure both sides equal each other.
So:
28/100= .28 & 42/150= .28
