Question

Use the five-step strategy for solving word problems to find the number 60% of what number is 192?

Answer 1

So, first you use what you already know. Put 60 over 100, since 60 is your percentage; put 192 as your denominator, with a "?" as the numerator to represent the missing/unknown part of the fraction. Next, cross multiply, or multiply 60x192 (which is 11520), then divide the product by 100. Your final answer is 115.2. Hope you found this helpful!
