Question

What is 92 1/2%of 411?

Answer 1

380.175

Explanation:

1. We can rewrite the problem as a ratio and look like this:

`(x)/(411) =(92.5)/(100)`

2. Using cross multiplication rules, you can make this equation:
`100x=92.5*411`

3. Now, we solve

`100x=92.5*411\\100x=38017.5\\x=380.175`

x=380.175

Answer 2

378.12

Explanation:

For 100, our answer will be 92

For 411, our answer will be x

100*x = 92*411 (In Step 1 and 2 see colored text; Diagonal multiplications will always be equal)

x = 92*411/100 = 37812/100
