Question

72 is what percent of 480? Write and solve the equation to solve the problem.

Answer 1

What % of Total Amount is how much The Part. Based off that equation is:

% x Total = P

Now, fill in the parts:
% x 480 = 72

Now for the math portion:

p=72/480
p=0.15
0.15 x 100 = 15%

Based off that 15% of 480 is 72

Answer 2

What?

Answer 3

480 * x = 72
x = 72 / 480
x = 0.15 or 15%

Answer 4

percent proportion is : is/of = %/100

72 is x% of 180

72/180 = x/100
cross multiply
180x = (100)(72)
180x = 7200
x = 7200/180
x = 40

check..
72 = .40(180)
72 = 72 (correct)

40% is your answer

Answer 5

Answer 6

oops...percent formula

Answer 7

Answer 8

oops...I wrote it wrong...it is not 180 it is 480

is/of = %/100
72 is x% of 480

72/480 = x/100
cross multiply
480x = 7200
x = 7200/480
x = 15

answer 15%...sorry about the mess up earlier

Try typing it rather than numbers. It's easier for me that way.

Answer 12

72 is what percent of 480

72 goes in the " in " position
what percent means you are looking for the percent, so sub x into the % spot.
480 goes into the " of " position

so now we have :
72/480 = x/100 and you just cross multiply and solve for x (the percent)

Answer 13

oops...72 goes in the " is " position

0.3?

Answer 21

15 is 10% of what

read it carefully.... is/of = %/100

15 is ...this tells us that 15 goes in the " is " position
the 10 goes in the % spot
so we are looking for " of " so we sub a variable in the " of " spot

giving us :
15/x = 10/100 -- cross multiply
10x = 1500
x = 1500/10
x = 150

that is the percentage 30 is of 100.
