Find the missing base.   160.2 is 18% of ___________

To find the missing base, we need to determine the number for which 160.2 is 18%.

We can use the formula:

\[
\text{Base} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Percentage}}
\]

Where:
- Part = 160.2
- Percentage = 18% (which is 0.18 as a decimal)

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Base} = \frac{160.2}{0.18}
\]

Now, let's calculate it:

\[
\text{Base} = \frac{160.2}{0.18} = 890
\]

So, the missing base is **890**.
