Question

Use the percent formula, \( \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{PB} \), where \( \mathrm{A} \) is \( \mathrm{P} \) percent of \( \mathrm{B} \), to anewer the following question. \( 29 \% \) of what number is \( 37.77

Answer 1

To find 29% of a number, we can use the percent formula A = PB, A is percentage we want to find, P is percentage value written as a decimal (in this case, 0.29), and B is whole or total value we are considering.

The percent formula A = PB, where A is the percentage we want to find, P is the percentage value written as a decimal (in this case, 0.29), and B is the whole or total value we are considering.Let's assign the unknown number to B. We have the equation 0.29B = 37.77. To solve for B, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.29:

B = 37.77 / 0.29 ≈ 130.5862.Therefore, 29% of approximately 130.5862 is equal to 37.77.
