47.9 is what percent of 152?
A)3.2%
B)31.5%
C)0.32%
D)317.3%

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 152 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=152

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=47.9

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=152(1).

x%=47.9(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x%   = 152/47.9

x= 31.5
