Question

19 is what percent of 76?

Answer 1

Greetings!

We can solve this problem by creating a simple equation:
Let x represent the percent.

`19=( (x)/(100))(76)`

Simplify.

`19=((x)/(100))((76)/(1))`


`19=((76x)/(100))`

Multiply both sides by 100.

`(19)(100)=(100)[((76x)/(100))]`


`1900=76x`

Divide both sides by 76.

`(1900)/(76)= (76x)/(76)`


`25=x`

The Answer Is:

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=25\end{array}\right]`

Hope this helps.
