What percent of 357 is 551? step by step ​

Answer 1

Answer:

154.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to determine what percentage of 357 is 551.

Let us assume that x% of 357 is 551.

So, $\frac{357 \times x}{100} = 551$

⇒ $\frac{x}{100} = \frac{551}{357}$

⇒ $x = \frac{551}{357} \times 100$ ......... (1)

⇒ x = 154.34%

So, it is clear from the step (1) that when we take the basic ratio then multiply with 100, then we will get the percentage. (Answer)
