Question

Translate the question “What number is 67% of 188?” into a proportion. Do not solve.

Answer 1

that numbers is hmmm "x"

so.. for that matter, "x" is 100% then, and 188 is just the 67%

thus
`\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ x&100\\ 188&67 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{188}=\cfrac{100}{67}`
