Question #0b60c

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

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

We can now write and solve this equation for `p`

`p/100 = 3/8`

`color(red)(100) xx p/100 = color(red)(100) xx 3/8`

`cancel(color(red)(100)) xx p/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100))) = 300/8`

`p = 37.5`

`3/8 = 37.5/100 = 0.375 = 37.5%`

Answer 2

`37.5%`

Explanation:

`8/8=100%`

`:.cancel8^1/cancel8^1xx100=100%`

`:.3/8xx100=37.5%`

`:.0.375xx100=37.5%`
