2. Problem 15: Find what percent 21 is of 50.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{21}{50} = \frac{p}{100}$.
Solve for $p$: $$p = \frac{21 \times 100}{50} = 42\%.$$
3. Problem 17: Find what percent 52.2 is of 145.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{52.2}{145} = \frac{p}{100}$.
Solve for $p$: $$p = \frac{52.2 \times 100}{145} \approx 36\%.$$
4. Problem 19: Find 60% of 120.
Calculate: $$\frac{60}{100} \times 120 = 72.$$
5. Problem 21: Find 65% of 440.
Calculate: $$\frac{65}{100} \times 440 = 286.$$
6. Problem 23: Find the number $x$ such that 40% of $x$ is 12.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{40}{100} \times x = 12$.
Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{12 \times 100}{40} = 30.$$
7. Problem 25: Find the number $x$ such that 80% of $x$ is 12.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{80}{100} \times x = 12$.
Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{12 \times 100}{80} = 15.$$
8. Problem 14: Find the number $x$ such that 55% of $x$ is 22.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{55}{100} \times x = 22$.
Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{22 \times 100}{55} = 40.$$
9. Problem 16: Find what percent 16 is of 64.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{16}{64} = \frac{p}{100}$.
Solve for $p$: $$p = \frac{16 \times 100}{64} = 25\%.$$
10. Problem 18: Find what percent 19.8 is of 36.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{19.8}{36} = \frac{p}{100}$.
Solve for $p$: $$p = \frac{19.8 \times 100}{36} = 55\%.$$
11. Problem 20: Find 80% of 125.
Calculate: $$\frac{80}{100} \times 125 = 100.$$
12. Problem 22: Find 83% of 200.
Calculate: $$\frac{83}{100} \times 200 = 166.$$
13. Problem 24: Find the number $x$ such that 20% of $x$ is 34.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{20}{100} \times x = 34$.
Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{34 \times 100}{20} = 170.$$
14. Problem 26: Find the number $x$ such that 4% of $x$ is 15.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{4}{100} \times x = 15$.
Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{15 \times 100}{4} = 375.$$
15. Problem 27: Find what percent 16 is of 80.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{16}{80} = \frac{p}{100}$.
Solve for $p$: $$p = \frac{16 \times 100}{80} = 20\%.$$
16. Problem 28: Find total number of gumballs if 85 is 17% of total.
Set up the proportion: $\frac{17}{100} \times x = 85$.
Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{85 \times 100}{17} = 500.$$
