Question

Write an equation and solve. Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary. 19 is what percent of 40?

Answer 1

You first divide 40 by 19:

19/40=?

Then you convert that to percentage by dropping the decimal point and attaching a %

(hint: you should get 48% about :)

Answer 2

47.5% is 19 of the 40 .

Explanation:

As given

19 is a part value of 40.

Let us assume that the x % is 19 of the number 40.

Now written x % in the decimal form.

`= (x)/(100)`

Than the equation becomes

`(x* 40)/(100) = 19`

Solving the above

`(19* 100)/(40) = x`

`(1900)/(40) = x`

x = 47.5%

Therefore 47.5% is 19 of the 40 .
