You can put this solution on YOUR website!
After I larned this formula, I never had a problem with percents again.
Part/Whole = %/100
With your problem, it would look like this:
x/47.99 = 160/100
Then you just cross multiply to get:
100x = 7678.4
divide both sides by 100to isolate the x:
x = $76.78

Hope that helped!!!
