Question

Answer the following questions.
(a) 17 is what percent of 68?

(b) 55% of what is 44 ?

Answer 1

What are both of the answer

Answer 2

(a) To find what percent 17 is of 68, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, the part is 17, and the whole is 68:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{17}{68} \right) \times 100 \approx 25\%
\]

So, 17 is 25% of 68.

(b) To find "55% of what is 44?", you can use the formula for percentage:

\[
\text{part} = \left( \frac{\text{percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{whole}
\]

Let \( x \) be the whole:

\[
0.55 \times x = 44
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{44}{0.55} = 80
\]

Thus, 55% of 80 is 44.

Answer 3

Here are the answers to your questions:

(a) 17 is **25%** of 68.

(b) 55% of **80** is 44.
