im doing percent proportions and it is asking: 57% if 109 is what number?

And i already know that you start with
57/100 = x/109 but how do you get the answer, i cant figure it out!!!

57/100 is .57 right so times by 109 to get the answer x=_

i agree with ben. 57/100 is .57

.57 times 109 = X
X= 62.13

To find the answer to your question, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with the proportion: 57/100 = x/109.

2. Cross-multiply the values in the proportion. Multiply 57 by 109 and multiply 100 by x.

(57)(109) = (100)(x)

3. Calculate the values on both sides of the equation:

6213 = 100x

4. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 100:

x = 6213/100

5. Simplify the division:

x = 62.13

Therefore, 57% of 109 is equal to 62.13.
