Part/Whole = Percent/100 [Use the formula for percentages]
\n" ); document.write( "38/49 = percent/100 [Plug-in the values]
\n" ); document.write( "38/49=x/100 [solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "(38)(100)=(49)(x)
\n" ); document.write( "3800/49=77.55%
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging in 77.55% back into the formula for percentages:
\n" ); document.write( "38/49=77.55/100
\n" ); document.write( ".7755=.7755 [Checks out]
\n" ); document.write( "
