Answer 2

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, lets call the percent we are looking for "p".

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore p% can be written as `p/100`.

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for `p` while keeping the equation balanced:

`192 = p/100 xx 600`

`color(red)(100)/color(blue)(600) xx 192 = color(red)(100)/color(blue)(600) xx p/100 xx 600`

`19200/color(blue)(600) = cancel(color(red)(100))/cancel(color(blue)(600)) xx p/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100))) xx color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(600)))`

`32 = p`

`p = 32`

192 is `color(red)(32%)` of 600
