on a calculator: 174 divided by 700 = 25%
To figure out a percentage in the future:
Set up your question like this to find a percent:
174 is what % of 700?
is: =
what: X
of: (multiply)
174=X% (700)
"X" has to be alone, so you divide 700 by 700 so that is 1
Any step you do to one side of the = sign, you must do to the other.
Now that "X" is alone, you must divide 174 also by 700
you divide 174 by 700
174 divided by 700 =0.24857.....
turn your decimal into a percent (move that decimal two spots to the right)
25% (round the 4 to a five because the number next to the 4 is higher than 5)
