What value divided by 25 equals 85?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 85?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 85 = 2125
To prove this, let's compute 2125 divided by 25:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 25:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 25 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 2125.
