hi,

here is the formula for your problem. percent over 100 equals is over of. This means that you make 70.2 a numerator and 540 a denominator. 70.2
                                                            ----- 
                                                             540
Multiply 70.2 with 100 and then divide the answer by 540. 70.2*100/540=13% 
13% is the answer.

For your second problem 32% of what number is 272, you place 272 as the numerator and you place 32% as the denominator. You then multiply 272 by 100 and you divide the answer by 32%. 272*100/32= 850. 850 is your answer.

Good luck with your homework
