Sure, I can help you with those math problems!

For both questions, we're trying to find a certain percentage of a given number. To do this, we can use a percent proportion equation:

Percent / 100 = Part / Whole

For the first problem, "62% of 146 is what number?" let's apply the percent proportion equation.

Percent: 62
Whole: 146
Part: We want to find this number

Setting up the equation:

62 / 100 = Part / 146

To solve for the part, we can cross-multiply and then divide.

(62 * 146) / 100 = Part

The solution is Part ≈ 90.52, so 62% of 146 is approximately 90.52.

Now let's move to the second problem, "18.4% of 880 is what number?"

Using the same percent proportion equation:

Percent: 18.4
Whole: 880
Part: We want to find this number

Setting up the equation:

18.4 / 100 = Part / 880

Now, let's solve for the part by cross-multiplying and dividing.

(18.4 * 880) / 100 = Part

The solution is Part ≈ 161.12, so 18.4% of 880 is approximately 161.12.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
