Respuesta :

To find the percentage of something, cross multiply its ratio with x/100. X is the percentage we need to find.

816/850 = x/100

816 * 100 = 850 * x

81600 = 850x

Now time to isolate x.

81600/850 = 850x/850

96 = x

The answer is 96%.

Answer:

96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

% = (given amount / total amount possible) * 100

Givens

Given amount = 816

Total amount = 850

Solution

% = (816 / 850) * 100

% = 0.96 * 100

% = 96%
