Question

Clayton earned 48 points on a 60-point geometry project. What percent of the total
points did he earn?

Answer 1

To find percentage, divide what you want by the total
\[Percentage=\frac{Wanted}{Total}*100\]
\[\frac{48}{60}*100=Percentage\]
\[0.8*100=Percentage\]
\[Percentage=80\]
Answer is 80%, can't use % in equation for some reason ;)
