Question

4. 46 is what percent of 69?

Answer 1

66%(technically 0.66 repeating)

Explanation:

We need to figure out what percentage of 69 equates to 46. In other words, we need to figure out what percentage times 69 equals 46:

`percentage*69 = 46`

Now that we formed this equation, we can solve for the percentage as if it was x.

First lets simplfy:

`percentage*69 = 46 -- > 69percentage = 46`

Now we can solve for x just by getting x alone, which means we must remove the coefficent. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 69:

`percentage = (46)/(69)`

=

`percentage=0.66`

Putting this into the form of percentage, we must multiply by 100. Since, the percentage form of a decimal is 100 times bigger(moved up 2 decimal places):

`percentage = 0.66*100`

=

percentage = 66%

Hope this helps! :3
