Answer:
the original amount was 62
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the part over whole formula like this:
[tex]\frac{part}{whole} = ( \frac{6.2}{?} * \frac{10}{100})\\ ? = 62[/tex]
why?
because we know that 10% = 10/100, we can easily find out the answer by cross multiplying
? * 10 (let's use x, instead of ?)
=10x
6.2 * 100
= 620
Now we have an equation that looks like this: 10x = 620
By using the inverse operation tool (dividing each side by 10 to isolate x) we have:
x (or ?) = 62
