Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

You just want to divide and then multiply by 100% to convert over into a percent. On this one that becomes

156/300 x 100% = 52%

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

For percentage problems such as this, you want to divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100% to get the percentage.

 

In your example, you need to divide the number of "successes" (156) by the total number of "tries" (300) to get the proportion of successes. Multiply that number by 100% to get the percent of success.
