Different teachers have their preferred method. Mine is to represent percentage as a fraction with the percent in the numerator and 100 in the denominator. Set that = to the part over the whole amount. Let x=whatever you're trying to trying to find, in this case, percent.

x=16.097%
Happy Calculating!!!

OR X=16.09695%
PROOF MULTIPLY 1722.5 BY .1609695
1722.5*.1609695=277.27
