Question

What percent of 127 is 75? (Round to the nearest hundredth percent.)

Answer 1

Let the unknown percentage be x
x% x 127 = 75
x/100 x 127 = 75
x/100 = 75/127
x = 75/127 x 100
x= 59.06% (nearest hundredth percent)

Answer 2

59.06%

Explanation:

1) Divide 75 by 127 (Use a calculator):

75/127 = 0.5905511811

2) Multiple the result by 100% (Don't actually multiple by the percent sign, that's there to symbolize that it is a percentage. Just multiply by 100):

0.5905511811 * 100% = 59.05511811%

3) Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent

59.05511811% ≈ 59.06%
