Question

Write an equation and solve. Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary. 19 is what percent of 40?

Answer 1

Okay, when it asks 19 is what percentage of 40. This is how I did.
19 = ? x 40

19 is the beginning number. When it asks you "is" then basically means "equal" or "=".

40% is the percentage right? TO change it to decimal form (because you can't multiply it in percentage form). So when you move the decimal over to places to the left it becomes .4

So put it all together now:
19 =? x .4

Divide both sides by .4
You should then get your answer.
