Assuming one of the answers above is correct you could solve this problem without math just by deduction. Starting with the fourth choice, .8462 is less than 1% while 55 is well over 50 % of 65. The second choice, 15% can be discarded for the same reason. Choice three can be eliminated because 100% of 65 is 65 and so 55 is not even 100% of 65 much less 118 percent. So by deductive reasoning the answer must be 84.62%. Of course if the question wasn't multiple choice you might want to know how to do the math. First we should start by understanding that a percentage is a ratio of x number of units per hundred. One easy way to find percentages is to set up and solve an equality between a known and an unknown ratio. In this case 55/65 = x/100. This equation means if you have 55 units for every 65 possible you will have x units per hundred. Multipling both sides by 65 and then 100 to clear the fractions yields 65x = 5500 which simplifies to x = 84.61538... which rounds to 84.62%. Hope this helps.

= (55 / 65) x 100 %
= 11 / 13 x 100 %
= 1100 / 13 %
= 84.62 %

here you just have to make the following operation:
if 65 is 100% the 55 is (55/65)100%=84.62%

That's a trick question, there is no real number that can be used to express the value of 55/65.
