What percent of 45 is 72

Question

What is the percent of fourth five and seventy two.

 

Answer 1

You may want to look at the logic a little deeper:

 

72 is what percent of 45 means:

 

72 = x%(45)

Since x is a percent it is x/100

72 = (x/100)45

72 = (45/100)x

x = 72(100/45)

x = 160%

Answer 2

it is just   (72/45)*100  or 160%
