Question

i learned this last year, but i forgot..how do you find percent..for example 135 is "x" percent of 265?

Answer 1

135 is "x" percent of 265

translates to

135 = (x/100)*265

Answer 2

now solve for x

135 = (x/100)*265

100*135 = 265x

13500 = 265x

265x = 13500

keep going to solve for x

Answer 3

In effect, divide 135/265 and move the decimal point 2 places to the right. For example, if you got 4 out of 10 right, that would be 4/10 = 0.40 or 40 %.

Answer 4

It's interesting that another kid is also asking how to figure out their grade, allegedly having gotten 135 points out of 265 :-)
