Question

you have driven the first 150 miles of a 2000 mile trip. What percentage of the trip have you traveled

Answer 1

Percentage can also be written as how many parts per whole.
So, you can rewrite a percentage problem like this:
\[\frac{150}{2000} = \frac{x}{100}\]

150 is part of the whole, which is 2000.
We can equate that to a fraction with 100 parts, which is 100%

Answer 2

Another way to look at it is just to do the parts divided by the whole: 150/2000
And multiply by 100%

Answer 3

Thanks man!

Answer 4
