You put 216 over x and 48%over 100 and then multiply 216x100 and get 21600 and then multiply 48 times x witch equals 48x and then divide 48 and 21600 and you answer is 450

Do a proportion. 48/100=216/x. Now cross multiply and divide. 216 x 100= 21,600 and 21,600 divided by 48 is 450. Your answer is 450
