128 is 74% of what number if necessary round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Steps:

1. Do a proportion

128/x=74/100

2. Do 128 times 100 which equals 12,800

3. Do 12,800 divided by 74 which equals 172.972

4. If you rounded to the nearest hundreth, your answer would be: 172.97

(Since the 2 after the 7 was below 5, you would round down to 7)

74% * x = 128

x=128/74%

x=172.97 (nearest hundredth)
