Example Question #27 : How To Find Percentage

85 is what percent of 400?

Possible Answers:

$27\frac{1}{2} \%$

$23 \frac{3}{4} \%$

$22 \frac{1}{2} \%$

$21 \frac{1 }{4} \%$

$19\frac{1}{2} \%$

Correct answer:

$21 \frac{1 }{4} \%$

Explanation:

Set up the proportion statement, where is our answer, and solve:

$\frac{p}{100} = \frac{85}{400}$

$\frac{p}{100} \cdot 100 = \frac{85}{400} \cdot 100$

$p = \frac{85 \cdot 100}{400} = \frac{85 }{4} = 21 \frac{1 }{4} \%$

Possible Answers:

88%

10%

90%

12%

Correct answer:

10%

If 108 students attend the field trip, 12 students do not.

120-108=12

To find the percent of students not attending the field trip, divide the number of students not attending by the total number of students, and then multiply that result by 100%.

$\frac{12}{120}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

$0.10\times 100\%=10\%$

What percent of the students voted for neither Kerry nor Quinn (nearest tenth)?

Possible Answers:

$43.8 \%$

$46.2 \%$

$56.2 \%$

$53.8 \%$

$36.2 \%$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

95+73+54+48+29= 299 students total voted. Out of those, 54 + 48 + 29 = 131 voted for a candidate other than Kerry or Quinn. To convert this to a percent, use this proportion and solve for :

$\frac{p }{100}= \frac{131}{299}$

$\frac{p }{100} \cdot 100= \frac{131}{299} \cdot 100$

$p = \frac{13,100}{299} \approx 43.8 \%$
