Question

Sixty-five engines are what percent of 80 engines?

Answer 1

`81.25%`

Explanation:

To find the rate/percent in this situation, I usually use the formula `R=P/B`

(R is rate, P is percentage or the part, and B is the base number).

To solve this:

`R=65/80`

Just 65 divided by 80, times 100 to get the percent instead of decimals.

`65/80 = 0.8125 • 100 = 81.25`

`81.25` becomes `81.25%`
