When you find 100% of a number, how does your answer relate to the original number? a. the numbers are equal. b. it is less than the original number. c. it is greater than the original number.

The numbers are equal (choice A)

This is because 100% of something is that entire thing, not changed at all. It is not added to, or subtracted from. Example: 100% of 78 is 78. If you had 78 people in a room, and selected 100% of them, then you selected all 78 people.

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
