Question

how can i know how to tell the percent of a number like for example , what percent of 88 is 72.6

Answer 1

"of" means to "multiply" and "is" means "equal

Answer 2

just divide like this: (72.6/88) and multiply the result by 100 and you'll get the percent. :)

Answer 3

72.6/88

Answer 4

therefore the problem really says:

\[y \times 88= 72.6\]

Answer 5

so divide 88 on both sides to get "y" alone

72.6/88
