therefore, 57 pounds is 95 percent of the limit.

Answer 2

Answer:

57 pounds weight is 95 percent of the limit .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

A rocking horse has a weight limit of 60 pounds .

Here

Percentage = 95%

Total value = 60 pounds

Put in the formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

$95 = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{60}$

$Part value = \frac{95\times 60}{100}$

$Part value = \frac{5700}{100}$

Part value = 57 pounds

Therefore 57 pounds weight is 95 percent of the limit .
