Question 132253
What percent of 160 is 56?

here is the easiest way to set up a percentage type of problem
160 is 100% then 56 is x%, write it down like so
160---100%
56----x%
then cross multiply
{{{160x=56(100)}}} solve for x
{{{160x=5600}}}
{{{x=5600/160}}}
{{{x=35}}}
so 56 is 35% of 160
then you can check your answer by {{{160(.35)=56}}}  :)
