Question

What percent of 221 is 79.4?Make sure you answer is a percentage Round percentage to the tenths place. Ifanswer was a whole number then include a zero in the tenths place as your answer

Answer 1

To answer this question, we know that the percentage can be expressed as follows:

`n\%=(n)/(100)`

Now, if we know that the n percent of 221 is 79.4, we can write the following equation:

`221\cdot(n)/(100)=79.4`

To solve this, we can multiply both sides by (100/221). Then we have:

`\begin{gathered} (100)/(221)\cdot(221)/(100)\cdot n=(100)/(221)\cdot79.4\Rightarrow(a)/(a)=1,(100)/(100)=1,(221)/(221)=1 \\ (100)/(100)\cdot(221)/(221)\cdot n=n \\ n=(100\cdot79.4)/(221) \\ n=35.92760181 \end{gathered}`

Now, we can see that 79.4 is 35.92..percent of 221.

If we round the percentage to the tenth place, we have 35.9.

In summary, we can say that 79.4 is 35.9% of 221.
