Answer:
94.3
Explanation:
You want to know how to fill in the proportion associated with the question, "What is 115% of 82?"
Proportion
The diagram is intended to help you match parts of the question to parts of the proportion. The attachment shows the intended relation.
The solution is found by multiplying both sides by 82:
(x/82)·82 = (115/100)·82
x = 94.3
Equation
The question can also be written as a statement:
"what" is 115% of 82
When written as an equation, "is" means "equals", and "of" means "times":
what = 115% × 82
Of course, you can use any variable name of your choosing in place of "what". In your diagram, that is "x". And, you know how to write a percentage as a fraction or decimal, so this becomes ...
x = 115/100 × 82 = 1.15 × 82
All that remains is to evaluate this expression.
x = 1.15 × 82 = 94.3
So, the answer to the question is ...
94.3 is 115% of 82.
