For questions 1 and 2 choose the equation or proportion that you can use to solve the problem:

What number is 73% of 215?
A.215 = 0.73
B.n = 0.73 × 215
C.0.73 = nx215

The word "of" indicates you need to multiply.

So turn 73% into its decimal form and multiply.

The answer is B

To solve the problem "What number is 73% of 215?", we can use the proportion:

B. n = 0.73 × 215

Because in this equation, n represents the number we are trying to find, and 0.73 × 215 represents 73% of 215.

To find the number that is 73% of 215, you can use proportion.

A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. In this case, we know that 73% (or 0.73) represents the part-to-whole ratio of the number we're looking for to 215.

So, the correct equation or proportion to use is:

B. n = 0.73 × 215

We can solve this equation by multiplying 0.73 by 215 to find the value of n.
