Answer 2

Answer: 72.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 116 by 160. (You take the information given from the text and you divide them to make a decimal.)

2. Multiply the answer by 100. (You multiply the decimal by 100 because that’s the total percentage. You can't go higher than 100% because that’s the maximum. You’re trying to make a percentage. Then the decimal should turn into another decimal but that second decimal is your percentage.)

3. Turn the answer into a percentage. (You do that because that’s your answer and all you have to do is make it a percentage. That would be your “final” answer.)

How to do it:

116/160 = 0.725

0.725 x 100 = 72.5

Turn 72.5 into a percentage.

72.5 ---> 72.5%

Final Answer: 72.5%

I’m sorry, I’m bad at explaining. Hope this helped!
