Question

What percent of 24 is 72

Answer 1

72 goes into 24...3 times, so your answer would be 300%

Answer 2

72 = x% from 24

72 =
`(x)/(100)` * 24

72 =
`(x)/(25)` * 6

72 =
`(6x)/(25)` / * 25 (both sides)

1800 = 6x / ÷ 6 (both sides)

x = 300

Answer: 72 is 300% of 24.

You can also do it easily in head as 72 is just as much as 3 times 24, so it has to be 300%.
