Question

What percent of 80 is 260?
A.31%
B.310%
C.325%
D.350%

I thought it was A. but not 100% sure.

Answer 1

Find the percent when the amount and base are known

Let

80 = amount

260 = base

- - - - - - - -

Divide 80 by 260

80 / 260 = 0.307692308

Multiply the decimal by 100 and attach the % sign

0.307692308 x 100 = 30.76923077 %

The percent is 30.77% rounded to two decimal places

80 is 30.77 % of 260

Answer 2

C. 325%
260 divided by 80 then times 100

Answer 3

it is c ,

260 is greater than 80 , so it is more than 100 percent of 80 ,

260/80 X 100 = 325 %

that being said , 80 is ~31 % of 260. But that is not how the question was phrased. Your answer is 325%

Answer 4

(260 / 80) x 100%

= 26/8 x 100%
= 13/4 x 100%
= 3.25 x 100%
= 325%
Answer D

Answer 5

It's C: 325%

80 is the whole (100%) and 260 is more than that.
You can do it this way if you have a hard time:

80 .............. 100%
260.............. X

X = (260*100%) / 80 = 325%

Explanation of this way of calculating: X equals the product of two diagonal numbers, divided by the "lonely" number - 80 (diagonally of 80 is X, so the only number on this diagonal is 80).

Answer 6
