Answer :
4.80 = 100%
x = 55%
Cross Multiply
100 * x = 55 * 4.80
100x = 264
x = 264
100
x = 2.64
Solution: $2.64
x = 55%
Cross Multiply
100 * x = 55 * 4.80
100x = 264
x = 264
100
x = 2.64
Solution: $2.64
Percentages are out of one, so finding the x% of anything is just multiplying that thing by some decimal value defined by x. In this case, since x is 55, you multiply by .55. If it was 5%, you would multiply by .05, 34% .34, and so on. 4.8*.55=2.64.
