Question: What is 20 percent of 752?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: Our output value is 752.
Step 2: We represent the unknown value with [tex]x[/tex]
Step 3: From step 1 above, [tex]752 = 100[/tex]%
Step 4: Similarly, [tex]x[/tex] = [tex]20[/tex]%
Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:
[tex]752 = 100[/tex]% [tex](1)[/tex].
[tex]x = 20[/tex]% [tex](2)[/tex].
Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%); we have
[tex]\frac{752}{x} = \frac{100percent}{20percent}[/tex]
Step 7: The reciprocal of both sides gives:
[tex]\frac{x}{752} = \frac{20}{100}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]20[/tex]% of [tex]752[/tex] is [tex]150.4[/tex]
