Find the percent using the percent proportion.

Question

108 meals is what percent of 1080 ​meals?

Answer 1

To find what percent 108 meals is of 1080 meals using the percent proportion, you can set up the proportion as follows:

\[ \frac{108}{1080} = \frac{x}{100} \]

Where \(x\) is the percentage we want to find.

Now, we can solve for \(x\) by cross-multiplying:

\[ 108 \times 100 = 1080 \times x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 10800 = 1080x \]

Next, divide both sides by 1080 to isolate \(x\):

\[ x = \frac{10800}{1080} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ x = 10 \]

So, 108 meals is 10% of 1080 meals.
