can someone explain how to solve this question.. it would mean a lot to me, thanks :)

Answer 1

Answer:

you would need to cross multiply 37/45 = x/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part represents the 37 dollars out of the original 45 and the second part represents x= the unknown percent out of 100 percent.
