Question

22 students is what percent of 55?

Answer 1

`40%`

Explanation:

The equation for percents is

`"Percent" xx "Whole" = "Part"`

So all you have to do is identify the parts of the equation. We don't know the percent, but we know everything else, so we can plug what we know into the equation

`P xx 55=22`

`55/22=P`

`P = 0.4=40%`
