What value divided by 100 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 85 = 8500

To prove this, let's compute 8500 divided by 100: 8500 100 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 100 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100: 100 x 100 = 100 × 85
  2. 100 x 100 is equivalent to 100 100 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 100 × 85 = 8500

So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 8500.
