ANSWER: 24%

here’s a way to calculate percentage:

48 x
—— = ——
200 100

we have to find “x” so cross multiply (we can only cross multiply 48 & 100 since you can’t multiply x & 200 because x isn’t a number.) So, 48*100= 4800. then divide by the number left over number (200.) So 4800/200= 24

Happy to help!
