I hope the given question states what percent is 285 of 485.

To find how much percent , we need to see how much part does 285 occupy in 485?

So we divide the no by that no whose part has to be found out.

=285/485

That comes to be around 0.58

Hence 285 occupies 0.58th part of 485 . Hence now to find percentage we just multiply that part by 100

Why 100? Because it is per(cent).

Cent means 100.

Answer will be 0.58×100=

58% is the approx answer.
