Question

46 is what percent of 88

Answer 1

well, is really "x", and we also know that 88 is the 100%, so we also know that x% of 88 is 46, ,so

`\begin{array}{ccll} Amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 88 & 100\\ 46& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{88}{46}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{44}{23} ~~=~~ \cfrac{100}{x}\implies 44x=2300\implies x=\cfrac{2300}{44}\implies x=\cfrac{575}{11}\implies x=52.\overline{27}`
