(3) Homework: HW2 Spring 2025 Find the unknown in the percent question. What percent of 145 is 58 ? \( k^{\pi} \quad \)

To find out what percent 58 is of 145, you can use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 \] In this case, the "Part" is 58 and the "Whole" is 145. Plugging in the numbers: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{58}{145} \right) \times 100 \approx 40 \] So, 58 is approximately 40% of 145. When solving percent questions, it's key to remember that the whole should remain constant as you're calculating different parts. A common mistake here is reversing the "part" and "whole," so always keep track of which value you are working with!
