Question

What percent of 700 is 875?

Answer 1

\(\Large \frac{\text{quantity}}{\text{original amount}} * 100 = \text{percentage}\)

Answer 2

700 = x% of 875
700 = 875x%
700/875 = x%
.8 = x%
80 % = x

check...
700 = 80% of 875
700 = (.8)(875)
700 = 700 (correct)

SmoothMath's way is probably easier

Answer 3

I think its 125 because its asking what percent of 700 is 875

Answer 4

Correct. 100% of 700 would be 700, but 875 is actually more than that.

Answer 5

It's 125%, which you could think of as 100% of 700 plus 25% of 700.
One whole plus another quarter of 700.
