Question

What percentage of 400=104 pls help me

Answer 1

26%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of a number, I find it's often helpful to first write it as a fraction:
`(104)/(400)` .

Percentages can be represented as a fraction by putting them over 100, eg. 25% is
`(25)/(100)`

.

Therefore, to get
`(104)/(400)` into a percentage, we need to change that 400 on the bottom to 100. How do we do that? Divide by four. However, anything we do to the bottom of a fraction, we must do to the top, so we divide both by four:

`((104)/(4) )/((400)/(4) )` =
`(26)/(100)`

As we saw earlier, if a fraction has 100 at the bottom, then the top of the fraction is the percentage. So 104 is 26% of 400.
