Answer

$63$ is $75\%$ of $84$

Work Step by Step

$a=p\% . b$ $63=p\% . 84$ Divide each side by 84. $0.75=p\% $ $p\% = 75\%$ 63 is 75% of 84 Using the Percent Proportion: $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{p}{100}$ $\frac{63}{84}=\frac{p}{100}$ $63(100)=84p$ $84p=6300$ $p=75$ The two methods give the same result.
