1 answer

To find what percent 96 is of 137.4, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, the "Part" is 96, and the "Whole" is 137.4.

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{96}{137.4} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating \( \frac{96}{137.4} \):

\[ \frac{96}{137.4} \approx 0.6985 \]

Now, multiplying by 100:

\[ 0.6985 \times 100 \approx 69.85 \]

Finally, rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[ 69.85 \approx 69.9 \]

Thus, 96 is approximately 69.9% of 137.4.
