Question

Find 55% of 134

SHOW DA WORK TOO PLS

Answer 1

Consider 55 out of 100 since its a percent.

55

___ X 134 = 73.7

100

Multiply across

Answer 2

73.7

Explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 134.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with X

Step 3: From step 1 above, 134=100%

Step 4: Similarly, X=55%

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

134=100% (1)

X=55% (2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

134/X = 100%/55%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/134= 55/100 => 73.7

Hope this wasn't too confusing....
