Question

14 is what percent of 84? how do you do that?

Answer 1

14/84 will you give you some fraction. Now, if you multiply that fraction by 100%, that will give you the correct percentage.

Answer 2

Which method do you prefer? My 8th graders prefer using proportions since they can't multiply by decimal numbers very well. part/whole = %/100 solve for the percent. Pretty much the same thing pstlwhppd just said.

Answer 3

Another way to look at it: 14 = (x/100) * 84 and solve for x.

Answer 4

i got 16 2/3 ???
