Question

Write an equation and solve round to the nearest hundredth when necessary 19 is what percent of 40

Answer 1

Answer:

Final answer is 47.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing percent is x.

Then x percent of 40 can be written as: $40\cdot\frac{x}{100}$.

Given that resulting percent value is 19.

So we can set both equal.

$40\cdot\frac{x}{100}=19$

$40x=19\cdot100$

$40x=1900$

$x=\frac{1900}{40}$

$x=47.5$

So the final answer is 47.5%.
