Answer 1

72=480*y/100

72=480y/100

Cross multiply

72*100=480y

7200=480y

Divide both sides by 480

7200/480=480y/480

15=y

Therefore 72 is 15% of 480.

Answer 2

15%

Explanation:

72 of 480 can be written as =
`(72)/(480)`

To find the percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100 =
`(72)/(480)`×
`(100)/(100)`

=
`(15)/(100)`

Therefore, the answer is 15%.
