Question

24 is what percent of 80? (1 point) OA. 3% B. 15% C. 25% D. 30%

Answer 1

Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have 24 is, that's 24 equals, what percent means x/100, of 80, means times 80.

Notice that I put x/100 for what percent since percent means over 100.

Cross-canceling the 80 and 100 to 4 and 5, we have 24 = 4x/5.

Multiplying both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction, we have 120 = 4x.

Now dividing both sides by 4, we find that 30 = x.

Remember the problem is asking for what percent so we should write our answer as 30% to answer the question.

Answer 2

You divide 24 by 80 and multiply that by 100 to get the percentage and your answer is 30%
