Soo... this is that happens.. 141x = 25.7 x = 25.7/141 x = .1822... x = 18%

Want me to walk you though it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright.. Since you want to know what percentage 25.7 has on 141.... 141 will equall 141x=25.7 Now you have 141x=25.7 soo you divide 141 by both sides. That will give you 0.1822 You move the decimal point 2 times to the right. and you get 18%
