Question

Solve. Please show all of your work.
During one year, the Bishops' real estate bill included $992 for county emergency services. Of this amount, $218 went for police protection. What percent did the Bishop family pay for police protection?
Round your answer to two decimal places

Answer 1

percent just means; part per hundred. the long version of this is to divide 992 by 100 so that each piece is worth 1/100th.

992/100 = 9.92 .... now how many times does this go into 218?

divide 218 by 9.92 ...

218.9.92 = 21.9758...

Answer 2

man your soo great! thank you

Answer 3

the short version is to take part and divide it by the whole:

218/992 = .219758..... and multiply it by 100 to get it into the right format: 21.9758...%
