You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You translate them just as they are written;
the word "is" means equals,
the word "of" means multiply;
21 is what percent of 35?
21=WP(35)
divide each side by 35;
21%2F35=WP
60%
what percent of 88 is 66?
WP(88)=66
WP=75%
I believe the last twoyou have backward;
Find what percent of 12 is of 16.
WP(16)=12
WP=75%
What percent of 300 is 450?
WP(450)=300
WP=66.7%
Hope you understand
