I have two math problems I need help with-
Percent proportions
1. 62% of 146 is what number?
2. 18.4% of 880 is what number?
0.62 * 146 = ________
0.184 * 880 = _________
Oops I for got to put the answers I got!
1. 90.52
2. 161.92
Are those right Ms.Sue?
Yes. Both are right.
Ok thank you so much! :)
You're welcome.
Sure, I can help you with those math problems!
For both questions, we're trying to find a certain percentage of a given number. To do this, we can use a percent proportion equation:
Percent / 100 = Part / Whole
For the first problem, "62% of 146 is what number?" let's apply the percent proportion equation.
Percent: 62
Whole: 146
Part: We want to find this number
Setting up the equation:
62 / 100 = Part / 146
To solve for the part, we can cross-multiply and then divide.
(62 * 146) / 100 = Part
The solution is Part ≈ 90.52, so 62% of 146 is approximately 90.52.
Now let's move to the second problem, "18.4% of 880 is what number?"
Using the same percent proportion equation:
Percent: 18.4
Whole: 880
Part: We want to find this number
Setting up the equation:
18.4 / 100 = Part / 880
Now, let's solve for the part by cross-multiplying and dividing.
(18.4 * 880) / 100 = Part
The solution is Part ≈ 161.12, so 18.4% of 880 is approximately 161.12.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
