Question

Translate and solve, what percentage of 375 is 225

Answer 1

The mathematical expression for the word statement is,

`x\text{ \% of 375=225}`

Solve for x

`(x)/(100)*375=225`
`(375x)/(100)=225`

Multiply both sides by 100

`\begin{gathered} 100*(375x)/(100)=100*225 \\ 375x=22500 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 375

`\begin{gathered} (375x)/(375)=(22500)/(375) \\ x=60\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is

`60\text{ \%}`
