Complete the following statement. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

% of 800 = 749

5 answers

The percentage can be calculated using the formula:
percentage = (part/whole) * 100

Let's denote the part as "x". So, the equation becomes:
x/800 = 749/100

To solve for "x", we cross multiply:
100x = 800 * 749

Dividing both sides by 100:
x = (800 * 749)/100

Using a calculator to evaluate the expression:
x ≈ 5,992

Therefore, the percentage is approximately 5,992% when rounded to the nearest tenth.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

To find the percentage, we can use the formula:
percentage = (part/whole) * 100

In this case, we need to find the percentage that 749 is of 800.
So, the equation becomes:
749/800 = part/100

To solve for "part", we cross multiply:
100 * 749 = 800 * part

Dividing both sides by 800:
part = (100 * 749)/800

Using a calculator to evaluate the expression:
part ≈ 93.6

Therefore, the percentage is approximately 93.6% when rounded to the nearest tenth.
correct
Thank you for the confirmation. I apologize for the previous error. The correct answer is that 749 is approximately 93.6% of 800 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
