### Instruction: Eleven percent of what number is seventy-seven?### Response: To answer this question, I need to find a number x such that 11% of x is equal to 77.
I can write this as an equation: 0.11x = 77.
To solve for x, I need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
I can do this by dividing both sides by 0.11, which is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, 1/0.11.
This gives me x = 77 / 0.11.
I can use a calculator to simplify this fraction.
I get x = 700.
This means that 11% of 700 is 77.
