$3 is what percent of $10?

Question

Write your answer using a percent sign (%). For example, 0.5%, 12.7%, or 56%.

Answer 1

To find out what percent $3 is of $10, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, the "Part" is $3 and the "Whole" is $10.

So, the calculation will be:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{3}{10} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this:

\[ \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \]

Now multiply by 100:

\[ 0.3 \times 100 = 30 \]

Therefore, $3 is 30% of $10.

The final answer is \( \boxed{30%} \).
