If 17% of a number is 43, the number has to be bigger than 43. We can find the equation with x being the number.
43/x=.17
Remember, you multiply by 100 after you calculate, that’s the reason for the .17.
We need to multiply x by .17 to get 43. So, you would divide 43 by .17.
43/.17
252.941176
252.941176*.17
=43
So, the number is 252.941176.
253 rounded to the nearest whole number.
Exact- 252.941176471
(I don't know if you need to exact answer or not)

Set up the equation.
43/x=17/100

Multiply 43 and 100 and divide by 17.
