    about 566.667 or to be exact: 1700/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    85 is 15% of what number

    We should translate this.

    85 = 15% * (some number)

    call that number x

    85 = 15% * (x)

    Solve for x

    85 = 0.15 * x

    x = 85/0.15 = 1700/3

    x = 566.667

    We have, 15% * x = 85

    or,

    15

    100

    * x = 85

    Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,

    we have x = 85 *

    100

    15

    x = 566.67
