If you know that 84 is 70% of the whole, explain how you can use proportional reasoning to determine the whole. You may select multiple answers.

• Write 70% as a ratio: $\frac{70}{100}$ .

• Write a ratio that compares 84 to the whole, w: $\frac{84}{w}$ .

• These ratios must be equivalent, so write the equation $\frac{70}{100}=\frac{84}{w}$ .

• Solve for w: w=120.

• None of the above
