To find percentages, turn them into a fraction comparison.
You know that a percent is always out of 100, so 140 out of 100 is your first fraction. You are looking for what 140% is out of 82, so that is x out of 82:
(140)/(100)=(x)/(82)
Then you cross multiply to get 100x=(140)(82)
100x=11480
diide both sides by 100 to get
x=114.8
That's your answer.
