Question

trying to figure out percents.

what percent of 420 is 294?

Help me with the formula please.

Answer 1

let x = percent

(420) x = 294    (divide both sides with 420)

          x = .7     (move decimal point two places to the right and add % sign)

         x = 70%

to check :    (420) (70%) = 294

                     (420) (.7)      = 294

                                  294  = 294
