Question

240.9 is what percent of 176? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer: 136.875

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we make that assumption that 176 is 100% since it is our output value.

Then we seek the value with x.

Since we already know that 100%=176, we put x%=240.9 which will give us some simple equations: 100%=176(1) and x% = 240.9

And then we turn our equations into this:

100% = 240.9

x% 176

Lastly, we take the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides

x% = 176

100 240.9

At the end, we get this:

240.9 is 136.875% of 176
