If you know that 84 is 70% of the whole, how can you use proportional reasoning to determine the whole?

A: 70100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio 84x compares 84 to the whole, x. Write an equation so that the first ratio is equal to the second ratio. Solve for x : x = 120.

B: 70100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio 84x compares 84 to the whole, x. Write an equation so that the first ratio is multiplied by the second ratio. Solve for x : x = 58.8.

C: 70100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio x84 compares 84 to the whole, x. Write an equation so that the first ratio is multiplied by the second ratio. Solve for x : x = 120.

D: 70100 shows 70% as a ratio. The ratio x84 compares 84 to the whole, x. Write an equation so that the first ratio is equal to the second ratio. Solve for x : x = 58.8.
