Answer:
$88
Step-by-step explanation:
set up the proportion: Let N =the number
[tex]\frac{7.26}{n}=\frac{8.25}{100}[/tex]
find the cross products:
100(7.26)=n(8.25)
simplify:
726=8.25n
Divide both by 8.25
[tex]\frac{726}{8.25}=\frac{8.25n}{8.25}[/tex]
simplify:
n=88
so the answer is:
8.25% of $88 is $7.26
