Question

16.9 is what percent of 20.9? Round to the nearest percent

Answer 1

To get the percent, we just need to divide the "parts" by its "whole", and then multiply it with 100. In this case, 16.9 is the part, and 20.9 is the whole.

$percent=\frac{\text{parts}}{\text{whole}}\times100$$=\frac{16.9}{20.9}\times100$$=80.86$

Sine we are asked to round it off to its nearest percent, the answer would be 81%.
