98 times what equals 43?

98 times what equals 43? In other words, what do you multiply by 98 to get 43? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "98 times what equals 43?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

98 • x = 43

Which can be written as:

98x = 43

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 98 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 98.

98x/98 = 43/98

98x/98 is x and 43/98 is 0.4388 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.4388
