use ratio and proportion

8250 /9072= x%/ 100%
cross multiply

x= 90.9% or 91%

Hope this helps

so percent means parts out of 100 so
if you have 8250/9072 and you divide it so you get a decimal you get
0.90939...
but that is over 1
0.9093/1
you want it over 100 exg x/100 so multiply by 1 or 100/100 (to convert bottom number to 100)

0.9093/1 times 100/100=90.9/100=90.9%
answer is 90.9% (depends if teacher wants you to round or not)
