My answers:
4/7 as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent
= 0.57142 = 57.142% = 57.1% C
.709 as a percent
70.9% B
81.25% of 21 = about 16 A
48% of 23.95 = about 12.00 A
15% of $58.50 = about 5.8 + 2.9 = 8.7 = about 9 B
50 is 12.5?
12.5/50 = 25/100 = 25% B
50 is 6.25% of what number
50 = 0.625 times X
So x = 50/0.625 = 80 B
50% of 70% = 35
So the proportion would x/70 = 50/100 A

7.
50 is 12.5?
12.5/50 = 25/100 = 25% B
The rest are correct.
x / 70 = 50 / 100 Multiply both sides by 100
100 x / 70 = 50 Multply both sides by 70
100 x = 50 * 70
100 x = 3500 Divide both sides by 100
x = 3500 / 100 = 35
x / 50 = 70 / 100 Multiply both sides by 100
100 x / 50 = 70 Multply both sides by 50
100 x = 70 * 50
100 x = 3500 Divide both sides by 100
x = 3500 / 100 = 35
Answers A and B are the same.
