Question 766948
a = pb is the formula that will work for all simple percent problems
a is the "part", p is the "percent" (as a decimal), and b is the "whole"


43 is what percent of 81.7
a = pb
43 = p(81.7) {substituted into formula}
p ≈ 0.526 {divided each side by 81.7 and rounded}
p ≈ 52.6% {changed decimal to percent}
