Question

What percent of 18.2 is 14.3? Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent

Answer 1

Let x represent the percent of 18.2 that is 14.3. Recall, percentage is expressed in terms of 100. Thus,

x/100 * 18.2 = 14.3

0.182x = 14.3

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.182, we have

0.182x/0.182 = 14.3/0.182

x = 78.57

78.57% of 18.2 is 14.3
