Answer:

125%

Explanation:

1. Set up the equation

425/340 = x/100

(percentages are out of 100 so this equation means 425 out of 340 is equal to a number out of 100)

2. Cross multiply

340x = 42500

3. Solve for x

x = 125

Answer:

125%

Explanation:

425-340 is 85.

85 of 340 is 0.25, which means it is 25% of 240.

Since 425 is greater than 340, add 100% to the 25% you found with 85.

425 = 300 + 85

y = 100% + 25%

125%
