Question

What percent of $8000 is 240?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large \boxed{3.00 \, \%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating percentage is

$\text{Percentage} = \dfrac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100 \, \%$

The "part" is the $240.

The "whole" is the $8000.

$\text{ \% of earnings}  = \dfrac{240}{8000} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{3.00 \, \%}$

$\text{\ 240 is }\large \boxed{\mathbf{3.00 \, \%}} \text{ of \ 8000}$
