Question

what percent of 1475 is 118

Answer 1

do 118/1475

Answer 2

With word problems like these, "of" means "multiply"
"is" means "equals"

Let n = the unknown percentage in decimal form

\[\Large \text{what percent} \ \text{of} \ \text{1475} \ \text{is} \ \text{118}\]
\[\Large \color{red}{\text{what percent}} \ \color{blue}{\text{of}} \ \text{1475} \ \color{green}{\text{is}} \ \text{118}\]
\[\Large \color{red}{n} \ \color{blue}{*} \ \text{1475} \ \color{green}{=} \ \text{118}\]

solve for n
