Question

14 is what
percent of 402

Answer 1

so we know that 402 is 100%, so what's 14 off of it in percentage?

`\begin{array}{ccll} Amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 402 & 100\\ 14& p \end{array} \implies \cfrac{402}{14}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{p} \\\\\\ \cfrac{201}{7} ~~=~~ \cfrac{100}{p}\implies 201p=700\implies p=\cfrac{700}{201}\implies p\approx 3.48`
