Question

37 is what percent more than 32? I need to know how to solve this, my instructor didn't explain the steps to solve this. Please help.

Answer 1

Ugh word problems. They suck don't they. I learned to get rid of the words by doing the following steps.

1. What is the sign? Addition multiplication? In this case subtraction/
2. What numbers, (percent's in this case,) are doing the subtracting?

3. Get rid of all the words. 37 - 32. = Your answer.

Hope that helps!
