Question

What percent of $8000 is 240?

Answer 1

3%

Explanation:

`(240)/(8000)` =
`(?)/(100)`

The matching numerator in the second fraction would be the percentage, since instead of 240 our of a whole of 8000, we need a percentage out of 100.

First, you see how many times the denominator of the second fraction fits in the first. 100x80=1000. So, what you did to the top you have to do the top. 240/80=3.

Therefore, 240 is 3% of $8000.
