What Divided By 85 Equals 294

Solving What Divided by 85 Equals 294

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

$\frac{x}{85}=294$

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:

$x = 294 \times 85$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 24990$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $85$ equals $294$?” is $24990$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{85} = 294$

And insert $24990$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{24990}{85} = 294$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
