What value divided by 50 equals 85?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 85?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 85 = 4250
To prove this, let's compute 4250 divided by 50:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 4250.
