Question

Write an equation and solve round to the nearest hundredth when necessary 19 is what percent of 40

Answer 1

Final answer is 47.5%.

Explanation:

Let the missing percent is x.

Then x percent of 40 can be written as:
`40\cdot(x)/(100)`.

Given that resulting percent value is 19.

So we can set both equal.

`40\cdot(x)/(100)=19`

`40x=19\cdot100`

`40x=1900`

`x=(1900)/(40)`

`x=47.5`

So the final answer is 47.5%.
