I do believe that the answer is 900.
Steps:
I first set up a proportion, with 8/100 and 72/x (x being the number we are trying to find)
As I was taught, you multiply 100 by 72, which equals 7,200.
Then, I divided 7,200 by 8, which gave me 900.
This is what the proportion process should have looked like:
8/100 72/x
7,200/8
x=900
I hope this helps!
