if 18.000.000$ is they 25% of the original value how much is the original value
Let the orignal amount=A, then we have:
25%A=$18,000 divide both sides by 25%
A=$18,000 / .25
A=$72,000. The original amount.
The person above did not add enough zeroes, just to let you know.
Anyway, I'll take a crack at this question.
You know that 100% / 25% = 4, yes? Therefore, $18,000,000 is 1/4 of the original value.
Let 100% equal the original value.
$18,000,000 = 1/4(100%), which can be turned into $18,000,000 = 100% / 4.
In order to undo division, you must multiply both sides by the denominator; in this case the denominator is 4.
4($18,000,000) = 100%.
$18,000,000 x 4 = $72,000,000
$72,000,000 would be the original value in this case.
