alleryStart learning →110 is what percent of 88?
A80%
B22%
C125%
D198%
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 125%
1. Let p be the percent and translate: 110 = p times 88.
2. Divide both sides by 88: p = 110 divided by 88, which is 1.25.
3. Convert 1.25 to percent form to get 125%.
4. The answer sits above 100% because 110 is larger than 88; 80% comes from dividing in the wrong order.
