Solving Equations

Description

This math example demonstrates solving percent equations by asking "2 is what percent of 55.5?" The solution involves setting up the equation 55.5 * (x / 100) = 2, then solving for x to get x = 2 * (100 / 55.5), which is approximately 3.6036%. This example introduces a scenario where the resulting percentage is a small fraction, less than 5%, and involves a decimal base number.

The solution involves setting up the equation 555.25 * (x / 100) = 75.5, then solving for x to get x = 75.5 * (100 / 555.25), which is approximately 13.59%. This example introduces a scenario where both the numerator and denominator are decimal numbers, resulting in a percentage that's less than 15%.
