Answer 1

40 and 60 I'd think. Don't quote me on that.

Answer 2

p lies between 50% and 55%

Explanation:

if 9 is p percent of 17, then p is a number between what numbers

9 is p percent of 17

Lets make the equation for the given statement

9 = p percent times 17

p percent is p /100

`9= (p)/(100) \cdot 17`

LEts solve for p

multiply both sides by 100

`900= 17p`

Divide both sides by 17

p= 52.9

Hence we say that p lies between 50% and 55%
