If you know that 84 is 70% of the whole, how can you use proportional reasoning to determine the whole?

• A. 70/100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio 84/x compares 84 to the whole, x. These ratios must be equal, so write an equation and solve for x: x = 120.

• B. 70/100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio 84/x compares 84 to the whole, x. Multiply these ratios to find x: x = 58.8.

• C. 70/100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio x/84 compares 84 to the whole, x. These ratios must be equal, so write an equation and solve for x: x = 58.8.

• D. 70/100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio x/84 compares 84 to the whole, x. Multiply these ratios to find x: x = 120.
