$72 %$ $72%$

To find out what percentage one quantity is of another you can use the method:

$fraction×100%$ $"fraction" xx 100%$

$342$ $342$ is a certain portion of $475$ $475$ , we can write this as $\frac{342}{475}$ $342/475$

If this is divided it will give a decimal answer. $\times 100 %$ $xx 100%$ gives the %

$\frac{342}{475} \times 100 %$ $342/475 xx 100%$

$0.72 \times 100 %$ $0.72 xx 100%$

$= 72 %$ $= 72%$
