What value divided by 100 equals 27?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 27?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 27 = 2700
To prove this, let's compute 2700 divided by 100:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 2700.
