Question

Find the percent using the percent proportion.
480 meals is what percent of 1200 meals?

Answer 1

To find the percent, we need to set up the proportion:

480 meals is what percent of 1200 meals?

We can rewrite this as:

480/1200 = x/100

Next, we can cross multiply:

480 * 100 = 1200 * x

48000 = 1200x

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 1200:

x = 48000/1200

x = 40

Therefore, 480 meals is 40% of 1200 meals.
