This what you would do if you don't understand how the other person got their answer. Part÷Whole=Percent÷100
Part=X because you don't know it
Whole=560
Percent=38
So: X÷560=38÷100
Set these as fractions and cross multiply. You get:
100x=560×38
100x=21,280
Divide by 100 and get:
X=212.8

560x0.38 = 212.8. Percentages are expressed as decimals when multiplied by the amount of which youre trying to find the percentage of.
