Question

(4b) A rocking horse has a weight limit of 60 pounds. What percentage of the weight limit is 114 pounds? *

Answer 1

Answer:

190 percentage of the weight limit is 114 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rocking horse has a weight limit of 60 pounds.

We have to find what percentage of the weight limit is 114 pounds.

x percentage of the weight limit is 114 pounds.

⇒ x% of 60 = 114

$\frac{x}{100} \times 60 = 114$

Solve for x;

$\frac{6x}{10} = 114$

Multiply both sides by 10 we get;

$\frac{6x}{10} \times 10 = 114 \times 10$

$6x = 1140$

Divide both sides by 6 we get;

$x = \frac{1140}{6}$

Simplify:

x = 190%

Therefore, 190 percentage of the weight limit is 114 pounds.
