I would divide 42p by 68p. The answer is 0.6176. Then multiply the answer by 100. The answer of course if 61.76p! Great question!

Hi Tia.

To show 42p as a percentage of 68p, you would divide 42 by 68 and then multiply that answer by 100 to give the answer as a percentage.

So the answer would be 61.8% if you wanted it to 1 decimal place or 62% if you wanted it to 0 decimal places.

Hope this makes sense!

(42/68) x 100 = 62%

You would place 42 as the numerator and 68 as the denominator (42/68). Then you would divide both the top and bottom by the same number to a simplified version (till it isn’t divisible by a common factor).

To find the percentage of 42p out of 68p, you can divide 42 by 68 to get 0.6176, which is 61.8%.

Step one: divide 42 by 68

42 ÷ 68 = 0.618

Step two: multiply your answer by 100

0.618 x 100 = 61.8%

42 divided by 68 multiplied by 100 gives answer 62%

write 42p as a fraction of 68p

42/68

then to get a percentage you will need to multiply it by 100

42/68 X 100 = 61.76%,

then round to the appropriate degree asked

42p would be 61.8% of 68. You have to divide 42 by 68 and multiple the answer by 100 to get the percentage, which I have then rounded up to the first decimal place

42 divided by 68 then multiply by 100. Answer is 61.77 to two decimal places.

Hi Tia,

I would divide 42p by 68p and then multiply the answer by 100.

See my workings below:

42÷68= 0.6176

0.6167x100= 61.67

=61p

I always find it easier taking it step by step and breaking it down.

Hope that helps!

44p÷68p x 100= 61.8%

42/68 x 100 = 61.76%

Hi there!

To answer this question, firstly view the problem as a fraction, as we want 42p as a percentage of 68p we would write that as:

42/68

This is because we are looking for 42p's worth of the original 68p. Convert this fraction into a decimal as we want the answer to be in whole numbers as we are looking for a percentage. To convert from a fraction to a decimal, we simply divide the numbers by each other:

42÷68 = 0.617... (3 Significant figures)

This number we've just got is equal to 1% of the 42p, however, we want 100% of what 42p is equal to, therefore we will just multiply the number we've just got by 100:

0.617 x 100 = 61.76.. (3 significant figures)

Always remember to round to how many significant figures it has asked for, and to put the percentage on the end, so your answer will be 62% (1 significant figure)

I would divide 42 by 68,The answer will be .6176. Then multiply the answer by 100. The answer is 61.76p
