Let the number = X

You would multiply x by the percent to equal 72:

X * 0.18 = 72

Divide both sides by 0.18

72 / 0.18 = 400

The answer is A)400

Answer:

Number = x

[tex]x \times 18\% = 72[/tex]

So,

[tex]18\% \\ = \frac{18}{100} \\ = 0.18[/tex]

Now,

[tex]x \times 0.18 = 72 \\ x = \frac{72}{0.18 } \\ x = 400[/tex]

=> Option A) 400 is the correct answer.
