Answer:

462 / 48 = 962.5%

Explanation:

Step 1: Divide 462 by 48 to get the number as a decimal. 462 / 48 = 9.62

Step 2: Multiply 9.62 by 100. 9.62 times 100 = 962.5

( also tyou can reverse steps 1 and 2 and still come to the same solution. If you multiply 462 by 100 and then divide the result by 48, you will still come to 962.5%
