\n" ); document.write( "160 is 100% then 56 is x%, write it down like so

\n" ); document.write( "56----x%
\n" ); document.write( "then cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"160x=56%28100%29\"$ solve for x
\n" ); document.write( " $\"160x=5600\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=5600%2F160\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=35\"$
