Question

what percent of 233,457 is 900; translate and solve

Answer 1

divide 900 by 233,457 and convert the decimal to percent.

Answer 2

(x/100) * 233457 = 900
find x from here.

Answer 3

percent is out of one hundred, so if you want to find what percentage of 100 a certain number represents set up a ratio equation:
\[\huge \frac{x}{100 \% }=\frac{900}{233457}\]
read as: a certain number is to 100 percent as 900 is to 233457

Now moving to solve x you obtain:
\[\huge x=\frac{900*100}{233457}[\%]\]
Evaluate the number but also see how the units (percent) stick around
