What percent of 357 is 551? step by step ​

Answer 1

154.34%

Explanation:

We are asked to determine what percentage of 357 is 551.

Let us assume that x% of 357 is 551.

So,
`(357 * x)/(100) = 551`

⇒
`(x)/(100) = (551)/(357)`

⇒
`x = (551)/(357) * 100` ......... (1)

⇒ x = 154.34%

So, it is clear from the step (1) that when we take the basic ratio then multiply with 100, then we will get the percentage. (Answer)
