675 is what percent of 900

Question

i dont have any idea how to do this its for my math hw and its due tomorow plzzzz help

Answer 1

675 = (900)*X where X is the fraction for which you are searching.

 

X = (675)/(900) = 0.75

 

Since we were asked to express X as a percentage we multiply 0.75 times 100 to get 75%

Answer 2

percentage=rate*base (use this formula for all percentage, base, and rate problems)

percentage is the IS number, base is the OF number, and rate is the %

675 is what percent of 900 ?

675(IS), 900(OF), the % or rate is missing

use the formula: percentage=rate*base, or p=r*b

                          675=r*900

                          675/900=r

simplify the fraction: 675/900=27/36=3/4

now express 3/4 as a percent

3/4=75/100=75%, or divide 4 into 3 and get 0.75=75%

also you could have simplified 675/900 to 75/100 because of the 900 in the denominator which is divisible by 9 and 675 is also divisible by 9(percent means hundredths-the denominator must be 100 !)

                                  

Answer 3

To find a percentage all you need to do is divide one number by the other and multiply by 100. In this case (675/900)x100= 75%

Answer 4

Just write it as an equation..

 

"675 is what percent of 900" in an equation is:

 675 = (      x%      )  *  900   -->

 

 675 = 900 * x

 

Then solve.

 

675 = 900x

900    900

 

x = 675/900

 

Now to figure out what percent this fraction is, you have to remember that percent means "parts of 100".

It's asking what percent (parts of 100) is 675/900.

Again, when we write down the math equation from the words, it looks like the following:

 

 x   = 675

100    900

 

 

Cross multiply:

 

900x = 675*100

900x = 67500

 

900x  = 67500

900         900

 

x = 675

       9

 

This is where you do some division or long division to get a decimal

            

9 )675

 

9 * 7 = 63.   So,

 

         0      

   9) 675

     - 63   

         4  (then bring down the 5) 

 

      __7_____

    9) 675

      - 63

          45

 

9 * 5 = 45

 

       _ 75_

    9) 675

      - 63__

         45

      -  45

          0

 

 

Answer : 75 %

 

900 * .75 = 675

Answer 5

Hi Denielle,

 

To calculate a percent you simply divide the amount you're given by the amount which is the whole or base, then multiply by 100 and put a percent sign at the end. So in your case you would do the following:

 

675/900 = 0.75

 

0.75 x 100 = 75%
