Okay so what you need to do is put the question into two fractions that equal each other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "31.25/100 = 5/x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So now you cross multiply and solve for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "31.25*x = 5*100
\n" ); document.write( "31.25x = 500
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 is 31.25% of 16.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
