Question

In the following statement, express the first number as a percentage of the second number.

The full-time year-round median salary for U.S. men in 2010 was $42,200, and the full-time year-round salary for U.S.
women in 2010 was $35,700.

Answer 1

Explanation:

the first number as percentage of the second number.

that means the second number is 100%

100% = 35,700

1% = 100%/100 = 35,700/100 = 357

how many % are 42,200 ?

we find out by checking how often 1% fits in :

42,200/357 = 118.2072829...%

$42,200 is 118.2072829...% of $35,700
