Question

What percent of $5 is $3.75?

Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula $\frac{is}{of}=\frac{percent}{100}$

• "of" is 5
• "is" is 3.75
• We will denote "percent" as x since that is what we are solving for

Now we just need to plug in the known values and solve for x

• $\frac{3.75}{5}=\frac{x}{100}$
• Cross multiplying we get (5)(x) = (3.75)(100)
• Then simplifying we get 5x = 375
• Dividing by 5 we get x = 75%

$3.75 is 75% of $5

Answer 2

3.75 / 5 = 0.75
0.75 x 100% = 75%
