Answer 2

300

Explanation:

The information we have is:

Number percentage

168.75 → 56.25%

and we want to know what number will be the 100%, in such a way that the 56.25% is 168.75, so we update the last table:

Number percentage

168.75 → 56.25%

x → 100%

Using the information we have, to find x we must multiply 168.25 by 100% and then divide by 56.25%:

`x=(168.75*100)/(56.25)=(16875)/(56.25) =300`

thus, 168.75 is 56.25% of 300.
