Answer:

see below

Explanation:

1. What is 65% of 80

Let's set up an equation.

When we see %, we can put that number over 100.

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

"of" means to multiply.

So, 65% of 80 is

0.65 • 80 = x

Multiply.

x = 52

52

2. 34 is what percent of 40?

"is" symbolizes the equals sign (=)

"of" means to multiply.

"what percent" is our unknown.

34 is what percent of 40

34 = x/100 • 40

Divide both sides by 40.

0.85 = x/100

Multiply both sides by 100.

85 = x

85%

Hope this helps!
