Find what percent one number is of another

Full solution

Q. There are

78

animals in a zoo.

59

of them are lions.

\newline

Write this proportion as a percentage. Give your answer correct to

1

decimal place when appropriate.

Calculate Percentage: To find the percentage, divide the number of lions by the total number of animals and then multiply by $100$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $(\frac{59 \text{ lions}}{78 \text{ total animals}}) \times 100$
Division Calculation: Perform the division first: $59 \div 78 = 0.7564$
Multiply by $100$ : Now multiply by $100$ to convert to a percentage: $0.7564 \times 100 = 75.64\%$
Round to $1$ Decimal: Round the answer to $1$ decimal place: $75.64\% \approx 75.6\%$
