Find the percent using the percent proportion.

Question

10 patients is what percent of 200 patients?

Answer 1

To find the percentage, you can set up the proportion:

10 patients / 200 patients = x% / 100%

Cross multiplying,

200 * x% = 10 * 100%

Multiplying,

200 * x% = 1000

Dividing both sides by 200,

x% = 1000 / 200

Calculating,

x% = 5%

Therefore, 10 patients is 5% of 200 patients.
