what is the formula for finding % of a #?
example:
1. find 40 % of 160?
2. 24 is 100 % of what?
also,
how do you do this problem?
4/6 of 48
1.
0.4 * 160
2.
This one should be obvious.
3.
(4/6) * (48/1) = 192/6 = 32
Thank you very much Mrs. Sue! What about the formula for 54 is 10 % of what?
You're welcome.
0.1x = 54
you are an amazing help and are very much appreciated!
Glad we can help. :-)
To find the percentage of a number, you can use the formula:
Percentage = (Number × Percentage) / 100
Now let's apply this formula to your examples:
1. To find 40% of 160, you can use the formula:
(160 × 40) / 100 = 64
So, 40% of 160 is 64.
2. To find 100% of a number when you already have the percentage, you can use the formula:
(Number × 100) / Percentage
In this case, we want to find 100% of some number, given that it is 24. We'll set up the equation:
(24 × 100) / 100 = 24
So, 24 is 100% of itself.
Now, let's address your last question:
To find 4/6 of 48, you need to multiply 48 by the fraction 4/6. The process would be as follows:
Multiply numerator (4) by the number (48) and divide it by the denominator (6):
(4 × 48) / 6 = 192 / 6 = 32
So, 4/6 of 48 is 32.
