1) First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. [tex] \frac{35}{185} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex]
Next, you would cross multiply. 185x = 3,500
Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 185. x = 18.918%
Your answer was correct!
2) First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown 85%. [tex] \frac{x}{190} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{85}{100} [/tex]
Next, you would cross multiply. 100x = 16150
Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 100. x = 161.5
3) First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. [tex] \frac{24}{128} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex]
Next, you would cross multiply. 128x = 2,400
Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 128. x = 18.75%
