Explanation:

Step1: Identify formula variables

Given \( R \cdot B = A \), \( R = 85\% = 0.85 \), \( A = 691 \). We need to find \( B \).
Rearrange formula: \( B=\frac{A}{R} \)

Step2: Substitute values

Substitute \( A = 691 \), \( R = 0.85 \) into \( B=\frac{A}{R} \):
\( B=\frac{691}{0.85} \approx 812.94 \)

Answer:

\( 812.94 \)
