Answer: 72.7272%
Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have "96 is", that's 96 equals, "what percent" which is [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex], "of" 132, times 132.
[tex]So[/tex] [tex]we[/tex] [tex]have[/tex] [tex]96 = \frac{x}{100} (132)[/tex]
Cross canceling the 132 and 100 to 33 and 25,
Multiply both sides by 25 to get rid of the fraction
and we have 2400 = 32x.
Dividing both sides by 32, we find that 72.7272 = x.
We should write our answer as a percent so we have 72.7272.
