Answer 23

it will be too confusing doing 2 things at once

Answer 24

i can look it up later, but im in a quiz, ill tell you the answer in a bit.

Answer 25

ok
back to my example

this is a given situation
TEST SCORE

98
---
100

Answer 26

This means that

98
---
100 <--- number of test problems

Answer 27

98 <--- number test problems correct
---
100 <--- number test problems

Answer 28

i don't see wat 98 has to do with her problem.

Answer 29

if you see my posts
this is an example

Answer 30

she/he has said that they are not very clear on
percentage calculation

Answer 31

98 <--- % out of
---
100 <--- number of problems


this is synonymous
when it is # %
out of #

Answer 32

i think she/he has to say \[\frac{ 85 }{ 100 }\] and multiply it by 60

Answer 33

as i said in my examples

98 < --- correct
--- = percentage yield
100 <--- # prob.

you want # correct

simple

60 <--- #prob
--- = correct
85 <--- percent yield

Answer 34

use what you want to solve for

Answer 35

@Selena2345 do you understand y i am doing this?

Answer 36

no

Answer 37

do you understand
98
--- = 98 %
100

Answer 38

?

Answer 39

"point" 98 (or any number) becomes a percent when the decimal space is moved back 2 places
.98

Answer 40

therefore

98
--- = .98 = 98%
100

Answer 41

@Selena2345 you understand that?

Answer 42

if i had
1
it becomes 100%

1.5
it becomes
150%

.25
it becomes
25%

Answer 43
