if you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )

Based on the number of people who were surveyed in total and the number of people who had their favorite car as white, the percentage is 25%.

There were 288 people surveyed. 72 people preferred a white car color out of all these. The percent is:

= Number if people who prefer white / Number of people surveyed x 100%

Solving gives:

= 72 / 288 x 100%

= 0.25 x 100%

= 25%

In conclusion, the percent of people who liked white cars was 25%.
