Question

48 is what percent of 80

Answer 1

Answer:

48 is 60% of 80

Step-by-step explanation:

set it up as an equation

(100) 48 = $\frac{x}{100}$ × 80 (100)

4800 = 80x (divide both sides by 80)

x=60

meaning that 48 is 60% of 80

Answer 2

To solve this you must use a proportion like so...

$\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{part}{whole}$

We know that percent's are always taken out of the 100. This means that one proportion will have x (the unknown percent) as the part and 100 as the whole

We want to know out of what percent is 48 in the number 80. This means 48 is the part and  80 is the whole.

$\frac{48}{80} =\frac{x}{100}$

Now you must cross multiply

48*100 = 80*x

4800 = 80x

To isolate x divide 80to both sides

4800/80 = 80x/80

60 = x

This means that 48 is 60% of 80
