Answer 1

1. 55%

2. 190%

Explanation:

1a. set up an expression.

33/60 = x/100

33 out of 60 is the 33 pounds out of the 60 weight limit. The x is what you're solving for, and the 100 is the given percent, because the percent is always going to be out of 100%.

1b. do cross multiplication; so do 33*100, which equals 3300

1c. divide; 3300 divided by 60, which equals 55.

For the second problem, do the same thing. your expression should be 114/60 = x/100
