Question

Of the 100 million acres in California,

the federal government owns 45 million
acres. What percent is this?

Answer 1

Explanation:

you do know what a percent is ?

1% is the 1/100 part of a whole.

when we have

100,000,000 (one hundred million),

how many 1/100 parts of that are

45,000,000 (45 million)?

well, 45.

45,000,000 is 45/100 of 100,000,000

in other words 45%.
