What Divided By 85 Equals 115

Solving What Divided by 85 Equals 115

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

$\frac{x}{85}=115$

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 $85$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 115 \times 85$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 9775$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $85$ equals $115$?” is $9775$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{85} = 115$

And insert $9775$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{9775}{85} = 115$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
