Question

__% of 4 is 7

Please help

Answer 1

175%

Explanation:

1. To find how much a percent of a number is, we'd just have to multiply the percent by the number. However, in this case, we're missing the percentage.

2. To find that percentage, we can write an equation of
`(x)/(100) * 4 = 7` because "of 4" means to multiply by 4, and "is 7" means that the product is 7.

3. Now, let's solve our equation.

• 
  `(x)/(100) * 4 = 7`

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `(4)/(100)x = 7`
• 
  `(1)/(25)x=7`

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 25.

• 
  `(1)/(25)x * 25 = 7 * 25`
• 
  `x = 175`

Step 3: Check to see if solution is correct.

• 
  `(175)/(100) * 4 = 7`
• 
  `(700)/(100) = 7`
• 
  `7 = 7`

Therefore, the answer is 175%.
