p % o f 48 = 15 100 p ∗ 48 = 15 100 p = 48 15 100 p = 16 5 p = 16 100 ∗ 5 p = 4 25 ∗ 5 p = 6.25 ∗ 5 p = 31.25%
The way to do this is to divide the two numbers (15 and 48) and then multiply the answer by 100.
So.. (15 / 48) * 100 = your answer
Or you can do it the long way, which is how I do it. You can divide 100 by 48, and then multiply it by 15.
So... (100 / 48) * 15 = your answer
