Answer:

307

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the percent proportion to solve:

Percent/100 = Part/Whole

In this case:

62/100 = 190.5/W (W for whole, we are trying to find the whole)

Cross multiply:

62w = 100(190.5)

Multiply 100 by 190.5:

62w = 19,050

Solve for w:

Divide both sides by 19,050 to isolate the variable and get the answer

19,050/62 = 307.25.....

~ After rounding to the nearest percent, the answer is 307
