Let's assume
that number as x
we are given
48.5 is 7 percent of x
so, we can write it as
7 % of x =48.5
[tex] \frac{7}{100} x=48.5 [/tex]
now, we can solve for x
[tex] 100*\frac{7}{100} x=48.5*100 [/tex]
[tex] 7 x=4850 [/tex]
divide both sides by 7
[tex] \frac{7x}{7} =\frac{4850}{7} [/tex]
[tex] x=\frac{4850}{7} [/tex]
[tex] x=692.857 [/tex]
so, that number is 692.857.............Answer
