Question

In a neighborhood of 160 houses. 48 of the houses are brick. What percent of the houses are brick houses.

Answer 1

Since it's 48 out of 160 and you're trying to find the percentage out of 100, this particular formula would look like this: 48/160=x/100.

Then you cross multiply: 48x100=4800

Then you take the result of that and divide it by the total number of houses. 4800/160=30

30% of the houses are brick.
