Question

2) 5 is what percent of 38?
B) 7.6%
D) 0.13%
A) 13.2%
C)
760%

Answer 1

13.2%

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

We want to know what percent of 38 is 5.

This means that we want to know what part of 38 is 5, out of 100.

Solving

We can divide 5 by 38, then divide it by 100 to get the percent. This works because dividing 5 by 38 gives us what part of 38 5/38ths is, and multiplying it by 100 gives us that part out of 100.

`(5)/(38) * 100`

0.1316 * 100 = 13.16% ≈ 13.2%
