Question 562445
To find percentages, turn them into a fraction comparison.

You know that a percent is always out of 100, so 140 out of 100 is your first fraction. You are looking for what 140% is out of 82, so that is x out of 82:

(140)/(100)=(x)/(82)

Then you cross multiply to get 100x=(140)(82)
100x=11480

diide both sides by 100 to get

x=114.8

That's your answer.
