How do you divide a whole number by a percentage?
PatriciaJamesfb8291
I need the answer to $99.00 divided by 70%. Every time I do 99.00/.7 = I get 141.428 and I know that can't be correct because it is a higher number than what I am dividing.
Firstly, 0.7 is a fraction, i.e. its less than 1. When you divide by a fraction the answer is always bigger than the starting number. Think of it like this: how many halves fit into 10? Or how many half cakes do you get from 10 cakes?
Secondly, the idea of dividing by a percentage is odd. If you mean 'What is 70% of $99?' you work that out by multiplying0.7 by 99.
