Question

What percent of 72 is 48 with step by step process

Answer 1

Answer:

67%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few methods to finding the percent of a number.  You can use proportions:

$\frac{percent}{100}=\frac{48}{72}$

The 'percent' is the percent of the fraction that you are looking for, or 48/72.

Cross-multiply:  72x = (48)(100) or 72x = 4800

Divide both sides by 72:  72x/72 = 4800/72

Solve for 'x':  x = 66.6666...

Round 66.666.... to the nearest percent: 67%
