Question

0.045 is 1% of what number?

Answer 1

`4.5`

Explanation:

In this answer, I'll be using a method called percent proportion.

`(percent)/(100) = (part)/(whole)` in this case part = is and whole = of

Answer:

0.045 is 1% of what number?

`(1)/(100) = (0.045)/(x)`
`=`
`(1x)/(1) = (4.5)/(1) x=4.5`

Steps:

1. make your proportion.

2. cross-multiply your proportion. Remember we don't know what x equals.

3. divide both sides by 1.

4. Answer =
`4.5`

Have a nice day :)
