Answer: 92 1/2 or 92.5
Explanation:
how to solve?
Put it into a percent proportion :D!
Percent proportion is is/of=%/100 or a/w=p/100
The a stands for "part"
and the w stands for "whole"
p stands for "percent"
Is/of=%/100 will help you figure it out if it's in a mathmatical sentence.
Since they did NOT give you what the "is" is, you put the variable "a"
a/ =
Next,
Since it said "of"
You put of underneath the unknown number "is" (a)
a/500=
Now put in the percent
a/500=18.5/100
Now cross multiply!
Then you should get 92.5!
HOPE THIS HELPS :DDD
