Question

If p and q are positive numbers, what percent of p is q? (1) p = 0.90q (2) p + q = 760

Answer 1

Percentage = 111.11%

Explanation:

If p and q are positive numbers, what percent of p is q?

(1) p = 0.90q

(2) p + q = 760

p + q = 760

0.90q + q = 760

1.9q = 760

q = 400

p + q = 760

p + 400 = 760

p = 360

To know what percent of p is q,

Percentage = (q / p) * 100

Percentage =
`(400)/(360)` * 100

Percentage = 111.11%
