Answer 1

Hello!

Percents are parts of 100. In order to find percents, you put the part of a number over the whole of a number. In this case, you would put 32/250 (divide 32 by 250). You can also write and solve a proportion by writing 32/250 = x/100. This way, you can fine the percent for 32 out of 250. The answer is C.
