Respuesta :
first, set up a proportion. 16.8/48 = x/100.
then cross multiply. 16.8 * 100. the answer to this is 1680 (take the decimal point and move it 2 places to the right).
lastly, divide. Take 1680 and divide it with 48.
your answer is 35%
Answer:
35%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]x[/tex] = the percentage
Set up the proportion:
[tex]\dfrac{16.8}{48}=\dfrac{x}{100}[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex]\implies 16.8 \cdot 100=x \cdot 48[/tex]
[tex]\implies 1680=48x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 48:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{1680}{48}=\dfrac{48x}{48}[/tex]
[tex]\implies 35=x[/tex]
Therefore, the solution is 35%
