Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the whole when a percentage of it is given, you can set up the equation $\$17 = 4\% \times \text{Whole}$. Converting 4% to a decimal gives 0.04, so the equation becomes $\$17 = 0.04 \times \text{Whole}$. Solving for the whole gives $\text{Whole} = \frac{\$17}{0.04} = \$425$.
