Exercise 32 Page 142

Use the percent proportion.

What are we finding? A percent.
p≈267 %

Practice makes perfect
In the percent proportion, the ratio of the part a to the whole b is equal to the percent p written as a fraction. a/b=p/100 Given any two of these three variables, we can find the third one. Since we are asked what percent? we will find a percent. We are given the values a= 96 and b= 36, and we will solve for the percent p.
a/b=p/100
SubstituteII

a= 96, b= 36

96/36=p/100
ReduceFrac

a/b=.a /12./.b /12.

8/3=p/100
MultEqn

LHS * 100=RHS* 100

8/3* 100=p
MoveRightFacToNum

a/c* b = a* b/c
