Question

use the basic proportion p/100=a/bto solve the following brown for the unknown quantity. round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary ___% of 67 is 67

Answer 1

We have the basic proportion:

$\frac{P}{100}=\frac{A}{B}$

Where P is the percentage, A is the "part" and B is the "whole" (P% of B is A). From the problem, we identify:

$\begin{gathered} A=67 \\ B=67 \end{gathered}$

Then, using the proportion above to find the percentage:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{P}{100}=\frac{67}{67} \\ P=100\text{\%} \end{gathered}$
