Hey there!
QUESTION:
“15 is what percentage of 30?”
SIDE NOTE(S):
We will label “x” as the unknown number until we find what the actual number is.
⚠️Remember⚠️
PERCENTAGES RUNS OUT OF 100
SOLVING YOUR QUESTION:
15 = x% of 30
x% of 30 = 15
x% * 30 = 15
x/100 * 30 = 15
3/10 * x = 15
x * 3/10 = 15
MULTIPLY 10/3 to BOTH SIDES
x * 3/10 * 10/3 = 15 * 10/3
CANCEL out: 3/10 * 10/3 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 15 * 10/3 because it helps solve for the x-value (to find out what the actual percentage number is)
NEW EQUATION: x = 10/3 * 15
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 50
ANSWER:
Therefore, your answer should be about [50%]
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
