Question

34 is what percent of 170?

Answer 1

34/170*100= 20
Hence 34 is 20% of 170

Answer 2

20%

Explanation:

let the percent be p

rewriting the expression:

p% of 170 is 34

or mathematically,

p% x 170 = 34

(p / 100) x 170 = 34 (divide both sides by 170)

p/100 = 34/170 (multiply both sides by 100)

p = (34 / 170) x 100

p = 20

hence 34 is 20% of 170
