Question

$36 is what percent of $48? Write your answer using a percent sign (%). For example, 0.5%, 12.7%, or 56%.

Answer 1

75%

Explanation:

We assume 48 is 100% since it's our output

The value we're looking for is "X"

x= 36/48

next multiply both by 100

x = 36/48 X 100/100

x = 3600/4800

x = .75

now times it by 100 to get it back in percentage form

x = 75% (simply move the decimal point two spaces to the right will get you your percentage as well)

Using a calculator:

enter 36/48 x 100 = 75
