Question

19 is what percent of 76?

Answer 1

Greetings!

We can solve this problem by creating a simple equation: 
Let x represent the percent.
$19=( \frac{x}{100})(76)$

Simplify.
$19=(\frac{x}{100})(\frac{76}{1})$

$19=(\frac{76x}{100})$

Multiply both sides by 100.
$(19)(100)=(100)[(\frac{76x}{100})]$

$1900=76x$

Divide both sides by 76.
$\frac{1900}{76}= \frac{76x}{76}$

$25=x$

The Answer Is:
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=25\end{array}\right]$

Hope this helps.
