Question

What percent of 125 is 55

Answer 1

I like to use this equation:
(Percent) * (total) = (part)

In this case, your total is 125, because it is the bigger number. 55 is the part, because it is a small part of that 125. to find the percent, you have to rearrange this equation so it looks like:


`Percent= (part)/(total)`

so when we plug in the values it looks like:


`Percent= (55)/(125)`

to that math and the answer will give you: 0.44

turn this answer into a percent by multiplying by 100:

0.44 * 100 = 44%
