Re: percentage
It looks like these two exercises are the following.
3/16 is what percent of 3/4?
7 is what percent of 28?
Do you understand the relation:
\(\displaystyle \mbox{Number} \times \mbox{Percent} = \mbox{Percentage}\)
For example: 13 is what percent of 220?
This exercise gives us the number (220) and the percentage (13).
\(\displaystyle 200 \;\times\; \mbox{Percent} = 13\)
\(\displaystyle \mbox{Percent} = \frac{13}{220}\)
Since 13/220 = 0.059, we say that 13 is 5.9% of 220.
Please let us know what it is about percents and percentages that you do not understand. Otherwise, it's too hard to know where to begin with you.
