x% of 9 is
(x/100)*9

Answer 11

@hartnn

that's pretty confusing actually...

Answer 12

2 is how many percent?

Answer 13

200

Answer 14

agreed, this math way is quite indirect

Answer 15

right

Answer 16

lets try another example

Answer 17

simpler thing to do is
9 is 100% of 9
18 will be 200% of 9 :)

Answer 18

25 is how much % of 5?

Answer 19

thats what i was trying to say haha

Answer 20

5*5 =25
so
% = percent = per100
what over 100 = 5?
500/100 = 5 so 500%

Answer 21

idk i like to use cross multiplication. gives a visual of what's going on.

Answer 22

18(100) = 9x and then just solve for x

Answer 23

all % is asking is to represent your factor as a factor with denominator 100

Answer 24

butterfly, if you don't know this yet, make a note :

\(\Large x\% = \dfrac{x}{100}\)

I got 200%
