Question

1. Fifty-six percent of what is 23? What proportion would you write to solve this problem?

Answer 1

41.07

Explanation:

1) lets use the formula, (%/100)=is/of

so:

is=23

of=x

%=56

`(56)/(100) =(23)/(x)`

cross multiply

56x=2300

x=41.07

so the proportions I would use are:

56/100 and 23/x
