Question 161861: What percent of 75 is 9?
Lets use proportions, on one side we will consider the numbers and on the other we will consider the percents. Now it is important to remember that the complete quantity (not the part) is always consider 100% and a fraction can be seen as piece/whole
so:
9/75 = x/100 (left represent the quantity in amount; right represents the same quantity in percent terms-- 9 is a piece of 75 as x% is a piece of 100%)
9/75=x/100
(100)* (9/75) = (x/100) * 100
900/75= 100x/100
