What value divided by 100 equals 96?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 96?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 96 = 9600
To prove this, let's compute 9600 divided by 100:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 96 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 96, the dividend is 9600.
