Work Step by Step

a. By reducing fat by only 100% all the fat will be gone, therefore anything above 100% is impossible. b. To convert this percentage into numbers you multiply 58 by 1182... ( 68556)... then divide that number by 100, which equals 686 people like to drive. c. To convert this number of people into a percentage you multiply 331 by 100... ( 33100)... and divide that number by 1182, which is 28%.
