Answer:
Divide the number that we have to find the percentage of by the other number and then multiply it by 100%. Look at the examples given below to understand it better
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Express 37 as a percentage of 74
(37/74) *100% = 0.5 * 100 ( or 1/2 * 100%) = 50%
2) Express 95 as a percentage of 80
(95/80) * 100% = (19/16) * 100 ( divided 95 and 80 by 5 to get a simpler value)
(19/4) *25% (dividing 16 and 100 by 4 to get a simpler answer)
19 * 25 = 475
divide the answer by 4, then u get 118.75%
We get a value higher than 100% as the number we are finding the percentage of is greater than the other value.
Hope it helps
