What value divided by 30 equals 85?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 85?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 85 = 2550
To prove this, let's compute 2550 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 30:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 30 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 2550.
