Remember percent means hundredths.
Then 147=(.43)x Where x is the total number of bridges.
147/.43=x
x= 341.86
So the answer from your list is C.
In fact you can't have .86 bridges so I would say 341.

The KEY here is that you'd need to divide the number of bridges by it's percentage.
So you'd need to divide 147 by 43%. To do this, you need to convert 43% into a decimal by moving your decimal point 2 places to the right. Doing this gives you 147 divided by 0.43, which equals 341.86.

Let # of bridges = x
Change 43% to decimal
.43x = 147
Divide both sides by .43
Your answer is C) 341.86
