Question

if 72 is 32% what is 100 percent

Answer 1

To find what 100% is when 72 is 32%, you can set up a proportion or use a simple equation.

Let \( x \) be the total (100%).

Given that:
\[ 32\% \text{ of } x = 72 \]
We can express this mathematically as:
\[ 0.32x = 72 \]

Now, solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{72}{0.32} \]
\[ x = 225 \]

Thus, 100% is 225.
