Question

What percent of 800 is 78?

Answer 1

`color(green)(9.75%)` of `800` is `78`

Explanation:

If `x%` of `800` is `78`
then
`color(white)("XXX")x/100 xx 800 =78`

`color(white)("XXX")8x=78`

`color(white)("XXX")x=9 6/8 = 9 3/4 or 9.75`

Answer 2

`9.75%`

Explanation:

What percent is 78 of 800?

Write it exactly as it is said.

`78/800 xx 100 %`

=`9.75%`

Or use direct proportion, because percentages are always in the same ratio as the numbers.

`78/800 = x/100`

`x = (78xx100)/800`

`x = 9.75`
