I was wondering if i was doing this right Okay so i have to find 17% of 92 And i am Doing it as if it were money So... 92.00x.17=92000 making the answer 9.2 Correct? if not please explain

To find X% of something, divide X by 100 and multiply the result by your total. So to find 10% of 50: (10/100)*50 = 5.

(17/100)*92 = 15.64%

And would the question X is what % of X be the same as the one i just ask?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 17 times 92 =1564 Move the decimal point two places to the left (effectively divides by 100). =15.64
