What value divided by 85 equals 88?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 88?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 88 = 7480

To prove this, let's compute 7480 divided by 85: 7480 85 = 88

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 88 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 88

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 88
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 88 = 7480

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 88, the dividend is 7480.
