Andy · Answer 1

Let number be x

15% of x=170

1% of x=170/15

10% of x = (170*10) / 15=113.33

113

Step-by-step explanation:

So 15% is 170. You would start by getting 1% which would be to divide 170 by 15 which is 11.3333333333 then times that by 100 to get 100% ≈ 1133. Then divide this by 10 to get 10%
