Question

What percent of 518 is 180? Round to the nearest whole #​

Answer 1

if we take 518 to be the 100%, what is 180 off of it in percentage?

`\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 518&100\\ 180&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{518}{180}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{259}{90}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 259x=9000\implies x=\cfrac{9000}{259}\implies x\approx 35`
