Question

Complete the statement using <, >, or =.

55% of 60 __ 60% of 65

Answer 1

Less than(<)

55% of 60 is 33

60% of 65 is 39

when solving problems with percentage, always multiply x, your decimal form of the percentage, by y, the often whole number part you are multiplying the percentage by.

`0.55 * 60 = 33\\0.60 * 65 = 39`

note that if the percentage is for example 30%, it will be 0.3, while if it were 3%, it would be 0.03 to avoid confusion.

That said, the answer is less than.
