1) First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage.

(35)/(185) =
(x)/(100)

Next, you would cross multiply.
185x = 3,500

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 185.
x = 18.918%

Your answer was correct!

2) First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown 85%.

(x)/(190) =
(85)/(100)

Next, you would cross multiply.
100x = 16150

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 100.
x = 161.5

3) First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage.

(24)/(128) =
(x)/(100)

Next, you would cross multiply.
128x = 2,400

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 128.
x = 18.75%


I hope this helps!
