Question

18.7 is what percentage of the number 56.1?

Answer 1

`33.bar3`% (meaning 33 with infinitely many threes following the decimal point).

Explanation:

The solution to "x is what percentage of y?" is `x/y *100`

By inputting values (18.7 as x, and 56.1 as y), the result becomes `18.7/56.1*100`

If you weren't allowed to use a calculator, you could divide 56.1 by using long division.

If you were allowed a calculator, then you could simply input the values as shown.

Either way, the result would be `100/3`, which is `33.bar3`

Add a percentage sign to get `33.bar3%` and that's it.
