Answer:
76 is 95% percent of 80.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage problems can be solved by a simple rule of three problem
In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.
When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.
When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.
In this problem, our measures are both values. We want know the percentage of 80 is 76. In percentage problems, the measures have a direct relationship.
So, we have the following rule of three:
76 - 80
x - 100
80x = 7600
[tex]x = \frac{760}{8}[/tex]
x = 95%
76 is 95% percent of 80.
