Question

73/260 73 is what percent of 260. also 42/220 42 is what percent of 220. please help.

Answer 1

73 = x(260).  Translate the word "is" as equals, and "of" as multiply.  Divide both sides by 260 (as you already did):  73/260 = x

73/260 = 28%.  (Move the decimal point two positions to the left).

42/220 = 19%.
