What value divided by 33 equals 85?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 33 and the quotient 85?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 33 × 85 = 2805
To prove this, let's compute 2805 divided by 33:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 33 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 33:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 33 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 2805.
