Question

91 is what percent of 260?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore x% can be written as `x/100`.

We can now write this express and solve for `x`:

`x/100 = 91/260`

`color(red)(100) xx x/100 = color(red)(100) xx 91/260`

`cancel(color(red)(100)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100))) = 9100/260`

`x = 35`

91 is `color(red)(35%)` of 260
