Solutions:

  1. 132 is what percent of 120?
    (132120)×100=110%\left( \frac{132}{120} \right) \times 100 = 110\%

  2. 53.4 is what percent of 60?
    (53.460)×100=89%\left( \frac{53.4}{60} \right) \times 100 = 89\%

  3. 48 is what percent of 200?
    (48200)×100=24%\left( \frac{48}{200} \right) \times 100 = 24\%

  4. A basket contains 32 apples. 10 of them are rotten. What percent of the apples are rotten?
    (1032)×100=31.25%\left( \frac{10}{32} \right) \times 100 = 31.25\%

  5. 38.4 is what percent of 60?
    (38.460)×100=64%\left( \frac{38.4}{60} \right) \times 100 = 64\%

  6. What percent is 1452 of 600?
    (1452600)×100=242%\left( \frac{1452}{600} \right) \times 100 = 242\%

  7. 4 is what percent of 40?
    (440)×100=10%\left( \frac{4}{40} \right) \times 100 = 10\%

  8. What percent is 2.8 of 10?
    (2.810)×100=28%\left( \frac{2.8}{10} \right) \times 100 = 28\%

  9. What percent is 16 of 20?
    (1620)×100=80%\left( \frac{16}{20} \right) \times 100 = 80\%

  10. 25.2 of 70 is what percent?
    (25.270)×100=36%\left( \frac{25.2}{70} \right) \times 100 = 36\%

  11. What percent of 50 is 17.7?
    (17.750)×100=35.4%\left( \frac{17.7}{50} \right) \times 100 = 35.4\%

  12. Micah scored 31/42 on a test. What percent did he score (rounded to the nearest percentage)?
    (3142)×10073.81%74%\left( \frac{31}{42} \right) \times 100 \approx 73.81\% \approx 74\%
