how do i get 38% of 400 by using the % over 100% and is over of?

Answer 1

38% of 400
=(38/100)*400
=38*4
=152

Answer 2

38/100 x 400

Answer 3

38% of 400 is the same as

38
---- x 400 which is the same as
100

38 x 400
----------- which can be solved several ways:
100

1. Simplest is just doing the calculation:

38 x 400 = 15200

15200/100 = 152


2. Or, in this case, one can easily simplify further:

38 x 400
----------- is the same as
100

38 x (400/100) which is the same as

38 x 4 which is 152.

Answer 4

this is a pretty good proportion questions, where you want to find a ratio
if you put the percents on one side 38/100 and then take x/400
because you know know 100% is 400 and you want to know how much is 38%
so 38/100 = x/400 then if you cross multiply or multiply the numerator on one side with the denominator of the other
that gives you 38(400)=100x
then you just math it out and find that x, 38% of 400, is 152

hope this helps =D

Answer 5

% is percent is "per centum" meaning "one hundred".

So, 38% = 38/100

So, set up the equation:

38/100 = x/400

and solve for x.

100x = (38)(400)
x = (38)(400)/100
x = (38)(4)
x = 152
