Question

I would like to be refreshed on this. I just cannot seem to remember how to solve this type of problem, and would like to be walked thru the complete step-by-step process...Please!

Answer 1

well the equation for percent is you would take your original number times by %/100=new number

so 5400 times x%/100=665

so 5400x/100=665
5400x=66500
x=66500/5400 x=12.3148148148%

Answer 2

$665.00 is 12.31% of $5,400.00

this question could be written as an equation:
$665.00 = 665
is = =
what = variable
percentage= /100
of = multiply
$5400.00 = 5400

now you can rewrite this equation like this:
665= x/100*5400
divide both sides by 5400
665/5400=x/100
multiply both sides by 100
665/54=x
solve.
x=12.31%

therefore, $665.00 is 12.31% of $5,400.00

Answer 3

2 ways to solve:
1. Write a proportion.
$665/$5400 = x/100.
The x is the percent you're trying to find. Solve.

2. Solve equation.
665x=5400 solve.

Answer 4

$665.00 / $5,400.00 = x / 100
x = $665*100 / $5,400

Answer 5

5,400 -------->100%
665------------> X%

so I learned you multiply long arm then divide short arm; you multiply 665 x 100 and then divide it by 5400.
%= 665 x 100 ------->66500 /5400
EQUALS 12.31% rounded to the nearest hundreth.
Good Luck=)
