Answer:


270.33\%

Explanation:

so generally when we want to calculate how much "percent" a number is of another number we do,
100((part)/(whole))

In this question, it's asking what percent of 182 is 492, and this wording might be a bit tricky at first. It might help a bit to reword it into, "492 is what percent of 182"

So in this question, the 492 is the part (despite it being bigger), and 182 is the whole

So now we use the equation:
100((part)/(whole))=100((492)/(182))\approx270.33\%
