What value divided by 85 equals 100?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 100?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 100 = 8500

To prove this, let's compute 8500 divided by 85: 8500 85 = 100

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 100 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 100

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 100
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 100 = 8500

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 100, the dividend is 8500.
