What Divided By 72 Equals 429

Solving What Divided by 72 Equals 429

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{72}=429$

The goal of the problem is to solve for $x$. To do this we need to change the equation so that $x$ is alone on one side of the equation. In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by $72$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 429 \times 72$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 30888$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $72$ equals $429$?” is $30888$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{72} = 429$

And insert $30888$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{30888}{72} = 429$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
