Question

12.5 is what percent of 8? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To find what percent 12.5 is of 8, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, the "Part" is 12.5 and the "Whole" is 8. Substituting these values in gives:

\[
\text{Percent} = \left( \frac{12.5}{8} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{12.5}{8} = 1.5625
\]

Now multiply by 100:

\[
1.5625 \times 100 = 156.25
\]

To round to the nearest tenth, the final answer is:

\[
156.3
\]

Thus, **12.5 is 156.3% of 8**.
