Answer:
81 is 37.5% of 216
Step-by-step explanation:
We start assuming that for a greater percentage, the number will be higher.
Also, for a smaller number the percentage will be lower. This relationship is a direct relationship. We also know that this relationship is a linear relationship.
To find the value of the number ''x'' we need to know the 100% of this number. The data that we have is that the 37.5% of the number is 81.
To find the 100% we write the following equation :
[tex]\frac{81}{37.5}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]
This equation expresses that 81 is the 37.5% therefore ''x'' is the 100%.
Solving for the value of ''x'' :
[tex]\frac{81}{37.5}=\frac{x}{100} \\x=\frac{(81).(100)}{37.5}=216\\ x=216[/tex]
We find that 81 is the 37.5% of 216
