Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. What is 65% of 80
Let's set up an equation.
When we see %, we can put that number over 100.
65% = 65/100 = 0.65
"of" means to multiply.
So, 65% of 80 is
0.65 • 80 = x
Multiply.
x = 52
52
2. 34 is what percent of 40?
"is" symbolizes the equals sign (=)
"of" means to multiply.
"what percent" is our unknown.
34 is what percent of 40
34 = x/100 • 40
Divide both sides by 40.
0.85 = x/100
Multiply both sides by 100.
85 = x
85%
Hope this helps!
