What value divided by 100 equals 48?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 48?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 48 = 4800
To prove this, let's compute 4800 divided by 100:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 48 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 48, the dividend is 4800.
