Let's start by recalling that we can use the percent equation to solve problems that involve percent.
Percent Equation [0.3em]
part = percent * whole
We want to find what percent of 64 is 30. Let n represent the percent.
30 = n * 64
Now we will solve the equation that we got for n. To do so, we will use the Division Property of Equality.
We found that n= 0.46875 is a solution to the equation. To write the decimal as a percent, we need to move the decimal point two places to the right and write the percent symbol. Then we will round the result to the nearest tenth.
0.46875 = 46.875 % ≈ 46.9 %
We got that 30 is about 46.9 % of 64.
